Selling Court, Selling, Faversham, Kent

Millfield House provides a superb family home set within sought after Selling Court, a rurally situated and peaceful development in this popular village. Understood to have been built in 1968, the house has been enlarged over the years and most recently by the current owners, who have carried out an extensive programme of refurbishment to create generous and beautifully appointed accommodation. This has included the installation of solar panels and battery storage for efficient energy use.

The ground floor offers a good balance of open plan and separate spaces which provide an excellent layout for both day-to-day living and entertaining. From the reception hall a glass wall and doors look to the open plan living space, comprising a kitchen/breakfast room which, in turn, flows into a stunning family room with windows stretching across the rear elevation and a large roof lantern. Enjoying a view across and access to the garden, this light and airy space is flooded with natural light and wooden flooring throughout gives an elegant, contemporary feel.

The kitchen is fitted with modern units with a breakfast bar and there is a useful utility room and boot room which has a door connecting directly to the garage.

There are two further spacious reception rooms. The drawing room has a wood-burning stove and bi-fold doors allow the space to be opened to the family room. A double aspect sitting room has French doors opening to the garden and adjoins a shower room, allowing flexibility for a downstairs bedroom if required.

Upstairs there are four bright and well-appointed bedrooms, including the generous principal bedroom with its en suite bathroom, full-height windows and balcony overlooking the garden and countryside beyond. Two of the three additional bedrooms have built-in storage, while one has an en suite shower room. The first floor also has a family bathroom and an additional shower room.

The house occupies a peaceful, unoverlooked setting which backs onto orchards.

At the front, the paved driveway provides plenty of parking space for several vehicles, as well as access to the garage. The front garden has a well-kept area of lawn and established border hedgerows, trees and shrubs, while at the rear is an extensive further lawn, dotted and bordered by mature trees, colourful flowerbeds, various shrubs and hedgerows and spring flowers.

Behind the house there is a large, sheltered terrace, perfect for al fresco dining. Adjacent to this is a good-sized outbuilding and a greenhouse whilst across the garden there is a summer house with its own deck and a shed.

The island to the centre of Selling Court is also under the ownership of Millfield House.
