This Grade II listed country home is steeped in history, surrounded by open fields but yet still within close proximity to the stunning coastal walks at Reculver National Park. It is believed that Barnes Wallis once resided here during the Second World War, and the neighbouring windmill served as his vantage point in his development of the famous bouncing bombs across the sea.'Old Mill House' stands prominently within a sumptuous plot of 0.45 an acre and has immediate 'WOW' factor from the moment you pull up outside.Beautiful features are found in abundance, including exposed timber beams and feature inglenook fireplaces; offering an un-rivalled sense of warmth and character.
