Summary - Goudhurst, Kent TN17 1HA
5 bed 3 bath Character Property
Historic village residence with large gardens and excellent school catchment.
Grade II listed former water mill with abundant period features
A rare Grade II listed former water mill, this five-bedroom family home sits on the River Teise in picturesque Goudhurst. The property retains abundant period character — exposed beams, stone and brickwork and a dramatic triple-aspect drawing room with an inglenook fireplace — set within just over half an acre of established, landscaped grounds. The plot includes the original mill wheel, which is intact but requires refurbishment.
The house offers generous, flexible space across multiple floors: a farmhouse-style kitchen and day room, formal dining room, utility and five bedrooms including a large master with ensuite. The setting is highly desirable for families, falling in the Cranbrook School catchment and close to outstanding primary schooling, local shops and village pubs, with convenient road and rail links to Tunbridge Wells and London.
Practical realities are clear: the property has been unoccupied and now needs renovation throughout. The oil-fired heating and many fixtures are untested. Several historic planning consents, including listed building consent for wheel repair and permissions for access, garage and annex conversion, have expired and would need to be reapplied for if required. Flood risk on the site is rated high and the listing status will restrict some alterations and complicate approvals.
For buyers seeking a distinctive family home with strong heritage and excellent schooling links, this is an opportunity to restore a characterful mill with large gardens and river frontage. It will suit those prepared to manage a careful refurbishment, work with listed-building constraints, and address flood-mitigation and mechanical systems as part of the renovation budget.
