The property, named Mill House, is listed by Savills estate agents at £1,250,000. This modernized cottage has three or four bedrooms and features charming, period-appropriate details.
Built in White Roding, near Dunmow, in 1877, the building is Grade II listed and stands out in the area. The attached windmill makes it truly special.
The hall leads to the first floor, where you’ll find three bedrooms. Two bedrooms share a shower room, and a family bathroom is also present. Downstairs, find a large kitchen/dining room with original tiles, a log burner, and garden access.
The kitchen connects to the bright lounge that offers country views with its oak frame. It has a brick fireplace and wooden floors. A utility room and cloakroom sit at the property’s rear, alongside a fourth bedroom or home office.
Karl Manning of Savills in Chelmsford says the windmill is the last built in Essex, offering local history. The tower replaced another mill from 1609 after a storm destroyed its mast.
The current windmill used wind power until 1926, then an engine until 1931. Planners approved converting the windmill in 2012, envisioning extra living space. The main house is modern but keeps its old charm.
The lounge impresses with its scenery. Large windows let you see panoramic vistas. All this is close to local amenities.
The yellow brick windmill stands out, now featuring unique rooms. Find a bedroom and wet room on the ground floor, and a kitchen area on the first floor. The second floor includes a reception room, unfurnished, awaiting your vision.
