Set in the Windmill Hill Conservation area stands this imposing former Victorian Rectory. Comprehensively restored over recent years with meticulous attention to detail retaining the true integrity and character of the original building. Approached via Gothic porch, the vestibule has an original tiled floor and leads to the spacious hallway with signature staircase. There are three substantial reception rooms. The large sitting room has two sets of full height glazed doors opening to west facing Juliet balcony overlooking the rear garden. Bi-fold doors lead to the kitchen/breakfast room, with both integrated appliances and traditional Aga. The dining room and breakfast room/study retain their original marble fireplaces. There is a ground-floor cloakroom, a larder and a utility room with stairs to the lower ground floor and access to the rear garden.
On the first floor are four generous double bedrooms, one of which is en-suite, a family bathroom, and abundant storage / cupboard space. There are stairs to the second floor attic room, which lends itself to further development, with further extensive walk-in attic storage all round.
From the ground floor and first floor rear windows, there are views to Darenth and beyond.
The property is screened from the road by mature lime and yew trees. The original stock brick set driveway to the side is flanked by lime trees and runs the whole length of the plot to a single garage. The west-facing rear garden is over 125 ft in length, with mature trees and shrubs and a lawned area, and is fully enclosed by walls.

Windmill Hill is located on the highest ground near Gravesend town centre and provides an interesting vantage point to view the surrounding areas and the river activity. At the top is a children's play area and a beacon commemorating the advance of the Spanish Armada. At the bottom of the hill is Windmill Gardens. This is where you will find ornamental gardens, a bowling green and tennis courts. Near the entrance is a memorial commemorating the losses of two world wars.
Gravesend Town centre is nearby offering a range of shops, supermarkets and restaurants and a mainline train station offering high speed links to London St Pancras in approx 23 minutes, making this an ideal family home for commuters to London, while the A2/M2 motorway is just over one mile away giving easy access to Bluewater shopping centre, the Kent coast and countryside.
