A landmark Grade II listed former windmill built about 1800, now beautifully
restored to provide a unique family home with a spacious five bedroom layout
spread over five octagonal floors.
Description
The Windmill, Grade II listed, is reputed to be the second largest windmill in
England. Built about 1800, shortly after the opening of the Wendover arm of
the Grand Union Canal, it operated as a flour mill until 1926. It was
originally converted into a residence in the 1930’s with a major restoration
and refurbishment carried out about 10 years ago, creating a stunning home
combining character with contemporary
family living. The Windmill, long minus its sails, provides adaptable
accommodation spread over 5 octagonal shaped floors including the top floor
conical loft, with windows providing commanding views over the roof tops of
Wendover and the Chiltern Hills beyond.
The ground floor provides a modern well fitted kitchen with granite worktops
and built - in appliances, which opens onto the dining room and has access to
the rear garden. The spacious octagonal sitting room occupies the whole of the
second floor, similarly the master bedroom with en suite shower room and
dressing room on the fourth floor. The remaining four bedrooms are arranged
over the first and third floors, served by a further similarly well - appointed
contemporary bath/shower room.
The Windmill, set back from the road with access via Mill Yard has areas of
well - established garden and a gravelled parking area to the side.
