Description
The Windmill House is an attractive period property believed to date from 1840
which for many years was a former pub known as The Windmill Inn until it
closed in 1970. The current owners acquired the property in 1976 and much work
was carried out at the time although the property would now require full
refurbishment. The house retains much attractive period detail and has three
good reception rooms including a spacious sitting room overlooking the lovely
walled garden. On the first floor there is a charming principal bedroom with
en suite bathroom, three further bedrooms and a family shower room. There are
also some useful outbuildings including a barn. A workshop and potting shed
can be accessed externally or via the sitting room and may offer the
opportunity to further extend the ground floor accommodation, subject to the
necessary consents.
Outside
The house is approached from the west onto a gravelled drive and parking area
which lies to the front and west of the house and there is a further gravelled
parking space to the north of the house between the house and the barn. The
barn is traditionally constructed largely of brick and flint under a pantile
roof with a pair of timber doors. Adjoining the barn there is a useful WC.
The garden is a particularly lovely feature of the property and lies to the
rear and east of the house. It is largely laid to lawn with well stocked mixed
shrub and herbaceous beds and bounded by a fine old brick and flint wall to
the north. There are a variety of fruit and ornamental trees including a Judas
tree and a fine mature beech. At the bottom of the garden there is an area of
shrubbery interspersed by paths and with a variety of old fashioned shrub
roses as well as rambling and climbing roses. The garden is entirely walled
and along the south wall there is a range of outhouses traditionally
constructed of brick and flint under pantile roofs and divided into a workshop
and potting shed. The garden in all extends to about 0. 32 of an acre.
