Millwall Place, Sandwich

5 Bedroom Terraced House for sale in

Number One Millwall Place is an enchanting Grade II listed five-bedroom home, dating back to the 16th century and occupying a wonderful position in Sandwich's historic medieval town centre with off road parking and a garage. Extending to over 2,100 sq.ft, this deceptively spacious period home has been thoughtfully and sympathetically renovated by the current owners, whose creative eye for detail and exceptional flair for interior design is reflected throughout this beautifully presented home. Flourishing in period features, the property combines an abundance of original character with great aesthetics and beautifully considered contemporary design, creating a truly individual family home.

The property has been a second home for a family who have also successfully hosted Airbnb guests, with the property being let all year round.

The property opens into a welcoming entrance hall, where traditional half-height timber panelling, cast-iron column radiators immediately set the tone. The hallway flows through to the impressive open-plan kitchen and dining room, which has been cleverly created from two former rooms and now provides a wonderful heart to the home. Centred around a restored original fireplace with a Morsø cast-iron wood-burning stove, the room is both stylish and incredibly inviting, with views and direct access to the garden.

The kitchen has been beautifully designed with bespoke cabinetry, polished concrete worktops, a Belfast sink, glazed ceramic tiling and a copper mixer tap. Earthy green and blue tones, botanical wallpaper and natural timber finishes create a sophisticated yet relaxed aesthetic, while the abundance of original features ensures the history of the house remains very much at the forefront. French doors open directly onto the patio, creating an excellent connection between the house and garden.

From here, the living room is equally impressive, with exposed beams, a large timber sash window and centred around a magnificent original brick inglenook fireplace.

The upper floors have been completely renovated whilst retaining and enhancing the property's period features. There are three bedrooms on the first floor all beautifully presented, with two bedrooms both enjoying ensuite bathrooms.

The second floor provides two further well-proportioned bedrooms, both tucked into the charming eaves and each enjoying their own en-suite shower room. Roof lights and attractive colour schemes create light and characterful spaces.

Outside, the garden has been thoughtfully designed to create a wonderfully private and flourishing space. A generous, paved patio provides the perfect setting for alfresco dining and entertaining, with direct access from the kitchen and dining room. Beyond this, raised timber beds, established planting, colourful borders and a wide lawn create a series of beautifully connected spaces. Mature birch, fig and bamboo planting provides privacy, whilst eucalyptus, jasmine, lavender, rosemary and roses bring colour, fragrance and wildlife to the garden.

A detached garage sits towards the rear of the garden, currently used for storage, this offers excellent potential for conversion into a studio, annexe or further versatile accommodation, subject to the necessary consents. There is also private parking to the rear, with a pathway leading towards the historic St Clement's Church.
