Fancyhaving your own windmill?

IF you’re looking for a house with wow factor then this extraordinary listed building could be for you.

It has four bedrooms, stunning views, gorgeous gardens and has been beautifully restored.

Also, it’s a 200-year-old windmill.

It was converted in 1984 and has since been extended to turn it into a perfect family home in a quiet shire.

Agents Andrew Granger and Co say: “Believed to date back to the early 19th century, this old tower mill has been sympathetically converted and stylishly extended to create a wonderful family home retaining a wealth of period features.

“A windmill is first recorded here in 1601 when it is mentioned in part of Leicester- the will of William Birdett.

“The mill was then left to his son, William, and by 1783, the mill was in the possession of the Wood family.

“The earlier mill would have been a post mill, and was rebuilt as a tower mill in 1815, by which time steam power had been installed.

“The mill worked up to December 28, 1915, when it was wrecked and the sails torn down.

“It was then left, and became increasingly derelict. It was converted into a unique five-bedroomed home in about 1984.”

The windmill is based in Gilmorton, close to Lutterworth, and as a result boasts excellent access to a multitude of main roads.

It also has oil fired central heating, double glazed windows and a security alarm.
