## About The Property

The Mill is an old corn mill, sympathetically coverted into sleeping accommodation – 7 bunk-bedded rooms of 18, 5 x 4 and 1 x 2 and other functional areas. On the ground floor, the cosy dining room can be configured to suit with stackable tables and fold away chairs. The substantial kitchen has a commercial oven, domestic oven, fan oven, 3 microwaves, 3 dishwashers, 3 freezers, 2 large upright fridges, 3 large sink areas (1 double) and a large walk in larder. There is also a snug with an inglenook fireplace with wood burner that is a cosy seating area, usually for the adults, offering Sky TV and a DVD player.

The Servery is a separate room, very well stocked with crockery, cutlery, glasses, table cloths, as well as a plumbed in urn with constant boiling water and a large dry bain marie enabling efficient meal service.

Adjacent to the main building is the Cass building comprising a practical classroom with sinks, a computer classroom with 14 working PCs (internet and Word) and a games room with table tennis, pool, table football and a Wii.

From late March until early October 2 long marquees are in place in front of the main building enabling outside eating and art/craft activities for 80 approx. Outside is set up with a camping field, a cricket field, a football field, a wooded area with a go kart (pedal) track and a campfire site with basic seating. In the top right corner of the grounds is a Low Ropes Course, a wonderful team building activity for students aged 6+ years. The grounds are virtually a nature reserve with woody clusters, a pond with central island and running streams. Many varieties of birds, plants and flowers are to be spotted.

Leith Hill tower is approximately 45 mins walk away along a safe, sandy marked path. It has a look out point at the top and a servery at it’s base selling hot and cold drinks and homemade cakes and snacks.
