If you’re looking for a family home that straddles contemporary design with rich Kentish history, this converted watermill could be just the ticket.

The four-bedroom home in Hunton, near Maidstone, is believed to date back to the 1850s and was once used as a working watermill for the local villages.

However, in recent years the property has been fully renovated and is now a stylish home with modern facilities including built-in kitchen appliances, a log burner and double garage, and it’s on the market for £1,195,000.

The house boasts four bedrooms, all of which are located on the second and third floors, and includes a principal bedroom with en-suite bathroom.

There’s also a family bathroom, a cosy study and a spacious kitchen and dining room with interior brick walls and beams.

The brickwork continues into the living room, where the fireplace is adorned with red and brown bricks along with more light beams across the ceiling.

The private gardens include an elevated terrace with stunning views, a gazebo and a large pond.

This is where residents will also find the watermill, which has been retained and adds a picturesque slice of history to the property.

There are also communal grounds shared between nearby properties that total almost nine acres of gardens in the countryside.

The county town of Maidstone is only three miles away from the house, which is where you’ll find the majority of nearby shops, bars and restaurants, as well as train links to Medway and London.

However, in the neighbouring villages of Hunton, Linton and Coxheath, amenities such as schools, a doctor’s surgery, general stories, churches and a pub.
