Fine & Country presents The Old Mill, a charming historic residence idyllically nestled within the Lower Halstow Conservation Area. With origins dating back to the 11th century, this remarkable former Watermill has been home to various mills over the centuries before its thoughtful transformation into a stunning five-bedroom residence in 2007. Surrounded by mature trees, open green spaces, and with a gently flowing stream meandering through the grounds, this is a place to escape, unwind, and embrace a more tranquil way of life. Tucked away on a generous 0.3-acre plot, the property is accessed via a long private driveway, leading to ample parking and a secluded setting. Built from locally sourced brick and topped with a traditional Kent peg tile roof, the home is rich in historic charm. Beautifully preserved original features include timbers salvaged from the Neptune, a 19th-century Thames barge, and pitch pine beams in what was once the Water Wheel room-now a striking living space full of warmth and character. Designed with both practicality and style in mind, the spacious kitchen and dining area are perfect for entertaining, with doors opening onto the rear terrace and garden. The five bedrooms are spread across two upper floors, with the principal suite enjoying a vaulted ceiling and an elegant en-suite with a rainfall shower. Larger-than-average landings offer versatile additional living space, whether for reading, relaxation, or home entertainment. Modern comforts blend seamlessly with the home's rich history, featuring underfloor heating throughout, slate flagstone flooring on the ground level, and wooden floors upstairs. High-speed fibre broadband and a private Wi-Fi network provide seamless connectivity, while a detached garden office with a log burner offers an ideal workspace or a potential garden retreat. With full planning permission already in place, there is scope to further enhance the property with an additional reception room, a tandem double garage, or even reinstating the mill stream through the garden, creating a breathtaking waterside setting. The land also offers the potential for stables or livestock (STPP), making it an appealing choice for those with equestrian interests. Lower Halstow is a village full of character and community spirit. A well-regarded primary school, an award-winning gastropub, and a charming Norman church are all within easy reach. The nearby Quayside and Yacht Club provide opportunities for sailing and watersports, while miles of scenic walking and cycling routes make it a paradise for nature lovers. Despite its peaceful surroundings, excellent transport links ensure that London is easily accessible, with fast trains from Rainham station reaching the capital in under an hour. Offering a rare blend of history, charm, and modern convenience, The Old Mill is more than just a home-it's a lifestyle, a sanctuary, and a unique piece of Kent's rich heritage waiting to be enjoyed.
