Goudhurst, Kent TN17

Nestled on the banks of the River Teise, this historic Grade II Listed former water mill, known as Hope Mill, dates back to approximately 1516. This property is set within half an acre of picturesque grounds that are poised for revitalization. Located on the edge of Goudhurst, a village celebrated for its striking architecture and elevated views, the mill's potential is immense. While it has been transformed into a family home in the past, it now requires significant refurbishment after remaining unoccupied for some time. The fabric of the building retains much character, highlighted by exposed beams and period features throughout its spacious interior. There’s also the unique opportunity to restore the old water wheel to working condition; previous planning consent was granted for this but has since lapsed. The extensive living spaces include a triple aspect drawing room with stunning river views and a farmhouse-style kitchen needing modernisation. Additionally, there is an annex in need of complete renovation that once had permission for residential use, which may provide further investment opportunities. The landscaped gardens offer tranquillity and charm with potential for reinstatement to their former glory. With its rich history and desirable location within the Cranbrook School catchment area, this property represents a rare chance to invest in a truly unique piece of heritage.
