Property Description: Guide Price £700,000 - £750,000. St. Martins Windmill is a remarkable Grade II listed building, a blend of historic charm and modern living. Built in 1817 the mill was converted a century later into a private residence. Sympathetically updated and extended to provide versatile accommodation across four floors, this one-of-a-kind home is a rare find.
The ground floor of the mill has a generously proportioned lounge brimming with character, exposed brick walls and original beams. In contrast the adjoining kitchen is a brand new addition and comes fully appointed. Beyond this is a delightful garden room with vaulted ceiling offers a convenient WC, log burning stove and access to the remarkable garden.
On the first floor you will find the main bedroom, as well as a family bathroom and shower room serving the rest of the home. The second floor has a double bedroom and a good size single room, ideal for use as a study or home office. At the top of the mill on the third floor, a further double bedroom has panoramic views across the Canterbury skyline, making it a truly special retreat.
Outside: The outdoor space reflects the spaciousness to be found inside the windmill itself. The grounds have been carefully cultivated for decades and are laid out in a series of lawns each with its own well stocked borders. A patio area for outdoor dining and a grape covered pergola provide a shady retreat during the summer months. Whether you’re hosting summer barbecues or enjoying a quiet morning coffee, this garden provides a private and tranquil setting. Within the garden are three sheds, one with power, a single garage and off road parking for three cars. Tucked away down a quiet private road, the windmill has the advantage of a peaceful setting while still being within easy reach of the amenities and attractions of Canterbury.
Location: Canterbury has a wealth of cultural and leisure amenities, excellent schools, a wide range of shops, bars and restaurants and good road and rail links. These include The King's Mile, Whitefriars Shopping Centre, University of Kent, Canterbury Christ Church University and The Marlowe Theatre. There are good road links with the A2 providing access to the channel port of Dover, Canterbury and the M2. The two mainline railway stations offer fast and frequent services with the high speed link from Canterbury West to London St Pancras (approximately 56 mins). 'The Riverside' which is situated on the other side of the Great Stour River boasts Curzon's 5 screen cinema as well as restaurants and bars that wrap around the new public square that overlook the river. The Spitfire Ground is home to Kent County Cricket in the South Canterbury area (just over 2 miles away) with regular cricket games.
