Description

This historic windmill property boasts a rich and storied past, dating back to the 17th century. The current tower mill was built in 1883 and has been lovingly restored by its current owners. The property has been home to many notable residents, including writers, artists, and actors, and has hosted famous guests such as D.H. Lawrence and J.M. Barrie. The windmill's cap, sails, and fantail have been carefully replicated in their original Victorian design, and the fantail is still operational. The interior features a circular reception hall, elegant reception rooms, a spacious dining room with a historic steam flywheel, and five bedrooms, including one with en-suite shower and another with stunning countryside views. The beautifully maintained country garden is a peaceful haven with lovely views over open fields, and additional features include two summerhouses, a shed, and a workshop. The property is perfect for those who appreciate history, character, and the beauty of the Chiltern countryside.
