Mill Cottage is a rare Grade II Listed waterside home blending historic timber-frame character with a large, contemporary open-plan living heart. The impressive kitchen/dining/family room with skylight and granite surfaces is ideal for family living and entertaining, while four reception rooms provide flexible space for home offices, play and formal dining.
Set beside a sizeable mill pond, the property enjoys a very large decking area and tranquil water views that enhance outdoor entertaining and family life. The house benefits from parking and a garage, generous gardens and approximately 2,479 sq ft across three floors, making it well suited to growing families seeking space close to Tonbridge town amenities and good schools.
Buyers should note the Grade II listed status: alterations will be restricted and may involve specialist consents and costs. The house’s long history (built 1086) and period fabric can also mean ongoing maintenance requirements. Council tax is noted as expensive.
Practical strengths include freehold tenure, fast broadband, low flood risk and a central Tonbridge location with excellent commuter links. The property offers a unique combination of period charm and contemporary comforts, but suits purchasers ready for listed-property responsibilities and potential conservation-led maintenance.
