Mill Lane, Northiam, TN31

Not only would this most attractive detached property, with its immaculately presented, generous accommodation of circa 3,000 square feet (including garage and office space), suit the needs of most families, but it offers a rare and exciting opportunity to purchase a house that has the best of both Worlds.  On the one hand, it offers peace and tranquillity away from the stresses of life, in a tucked away setting with stunning rural countryside views you will struggle to beat, and on the other, it is less than a mile from good local amenities in the picturesque village of Northiam and only 9 miles from the historic towns of Tenterden, Rye and Battle.

Not only this, but this property also boasts beautiful south facing gardens, a sweeping driveway with plentiful parking and a double garage with accommodation above, which offers enormous scope for flexibility of use and possible Annexe or commercial potential, subject of course, to the necessary permissions. Anyone who is lucky enough to live here can enjoy a superb lifestyle with charmed surroundings in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty close to amenities, and for that reason, this property is a rare find indeed.
