For those seeking something truly unique and full of character, this captivating octagonal home with a spacious integral annex is sure to impress. Designed in 1970 by the current owner's father in collaboration with a local architect, the property sits on the site of an 18th Century windmill, making it a remarkable one-of-a-kind residence. Nestled in an elevated position within a generous plot, it enjoys breathtaking rural views while being just a short walk across the fields to the charming village of Ash.

Inside - An entrance lobby houses a utility room and a separate front door to both the annex and main accomodation. The home is filled with characterful features, including Canadian spruce beams, vaulted ceilings in nearly every room, oak doors, engineered oak flooring, and an engraving of a rampant horse—the emblem of Kent. The circular reception hall serves as the heart of the home, with all rooms radiating from this central space. The unique triple-aspect lounge boasts a vaulted, beamed ceiling and a curved open fireplace, perfect for cozy winter evenings while still enjoying the panoramic views. French doors open onto the wraparound terrace, while another set leads into a charming conservatory, offering additional seating and dining space.

The property’s unique wedge-shaped rooms add to its appeal, particularly the farmhouse-style kitchen, which features wooden cabinetry, a range cooker, a dishwasher, and an American-style fridge freezer. Adjacent to the kitchen is the similarly shaped dining room, and with the removal of a wall, these two spaces could easily be transformed into a spacious open-plan kitchen/dining area.

Three double bedrooms, all with built-in storage, provide comfortable accommodation. The first bedroom includes two double wardrobes, while a family bathroom and a separate cloakroom serve the remaining rooms. There is also potential to reconfigure the layout to create an en-suite or larger bedrooms if desired, especially given the annex’s ability to offer additional living space.

Annex: - Formed part of the mill's grain store, the annex has been thoughtfully converted into well-appointed accommodation, ideal for multi-generational living or as a holiday let generating additional income. The ground floor features a spacious kitchen/breakfast room, a double bedroom, a bathroom, and a generous dual-aspect living area with direct access to the garden. Upstairs, there is an additional bedroom. Making it an ideal self-contained home for elderly relatives, adult children, guest accommodation, or perhaps an Airbnb.

Outside - A long gravel driveway leads up to the property, passing a large double garage before reaching a five-bar gate. To one side, a delightful Dutch-style tractor shed adds to the home's charm, while lawns with mature shrubs and trees create a picturesque setting. The driveway continues to an off-road parking area for approximately three cars, as well as the front lobby, which provides separate entrances to both the main house and the annexe.

This distinctive home offers endless possibilities and a truly special living experience in an idyllic countryside setting.
