Description
This historic windmill, dating back to the 17th and 18th centuries, has a rich and storied past. It was rebuilt in 1883 as a masonry tower mill, and later converted into a private residence in 1913. The property has been home to many notable figures, including writers, artists, and actors, who have hosted and entertained guests from the Bloomsbury Group and London Group. The current owners have lovingly restored the windmill's cap, sails, and fantail, and have preserved many original features, including the steam flywheel, which now serves as a striking feature in the dining room. The property features five bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a spacious kitchen/breakfast room, as well as a beautiful country garden with stunning views of the Chiltern countryside. The property is perfect for those who appreciate history, architecture, and the arts, and offers a unique and idyllic setting for relaxation and entertainment.
