Description
This historic windmill, dating back to the 17th and 18th centuries, has a rich and storied past. Originally a smock mill and later a masonry tower mill, it was converted into a private residence in 1913. The property has been home to many notable residents, including writers, artists, and actors, who have hosted famous guests from the Bloomsbury Group and the London Group. The current owners have lovingly restored the windmill's cap, sails, and fantail, replicating the original Victorian design. The property features a circular reception hall, two elegant reception rooms, a dining room with a steam flywheel, and a spacious kitchen/breakfast room. The five bedrooms, including a stunning circular room with en-suite shower, provide comfortable accommodation. The beautifully maintained country garden is a peaceful haven, with lovely views over open fields, and features two summerhouses, a shed, and a workshop.
