An historic Grade II Listed former windmill tucked away close to the heart of
this popular village.
It is believed The Windmill dates in origin from 1796 and was used for milling
up until 1926, then subsequently converted to a residence in 1931. The
structure, a tapering octagonal five storey tower capped with an ogee shaped
dome is among the largest of its kind in the country. The vaulted loft room
still contains many of the original workings. The inspiring accommodation now
provides flexible and expansive living space, with increasingly impressive
views across the roof tops to the countryside beyond as you climb the stairs.
The front door leads into a reception hall, with stairs to the first floor and
a cloakroom. There is a slate floor throughout the ground floor. The kitchen
is well fitted with a modern range of units with integrated appliances and
granite work surfaces. There is a separate dining area and a door out to the
garden.
On the first floor there are two bedrooms or potentially a study and a shower
room. On the second floor is a spectacular sitting room with a quadruple
aspect. Moving on up to the third floor there are two more bedrooms, one being
en suite and a family bathroom. On the fourth there is an impressive master
bedroom with en suite dressing room and shower room. Lastly the loft room
which still contains much of the original mechanism from when it was a
functioning windmill.

The property is down a long access road which leads to plenty of parking to
the front and double wooden gates to the side lead to a further area of
parking.
The gardens are fully enclosed and offer a high degree of privacy with a south
westerly aspect; laid predominantly to lawn with mature bushes and shrubs,
together with a paved sun terrace.
**Location
**
The Windmill stands close to the heart of the village, with the pretty High
Street providing an eclectic mix of shops, pubs and restaurants. Wendover also
offers a Library, Dentist, Health Centre and Chemist. For the sports minded in
Dobbins Lane you will find the Tennis Club, together with the Squash and Bowls
Clubs. Nearby are some lovely rural walks, bridle paths and cycle routes,
Coombe Hill, Wendover Woods and the disused arm of the Grand Union Canal. The
station is again only a short walk and offers a frequent service to Marylebone
(within 45 minutes) on the award winning Chiltern line. The A41(M) can be
found between Aston Clinton and Tring, offering a swift connection to the M25.
Alternatively the M40 is at High Wycombe.
