Built circa 1825, Mill House is an attractive white weatherboarded house with a Georgian frontage and a Victorian rear extension. Set in the popular hamlet of Iden Green, the house is approached via a gravel in and out driveway with electric gates.

Entering the house through the cottage garden and informal rear door, brings you in through the lobby and in to the kitchen/breakfast room, refurbished in 2018 by the current owners. Double aspect windows provide lovely views over the gardens to the rear and side of the property. To the left of the kitchen/breakfast room is a snug/family room.

On entering the original Georgian part of the house with high ceilings and Georgian proportions, there is a large study/library and formal dining room.

The larger formal sitting room at the front of the house has an open brickwork fireplace housing a Jetmaster open fire.

Upstairs are three double bedrooms, two with built in wardrobes and staircase down to two further double bedrooms both with fitted wardrobes. There is a family bathroom and separate shower room.

Outside, the garden has been landscaped by the current owner who is a garden designer. Beyond the more formal garden is a further two acre area comprising a coppicing wood, small orchard and paddock.

A greenhouse, brick terracing, vegetable garden and a south west facing rear garden add to the charm of this property. The garden with a pond to the left side of the property is south facing.

Off road parking is provided and a double garage, currently used as a workshop, is also positioned with easy access.
