Unique windmill with thriving commercial aspect.
Built in 1866, The Windmill is a Grade II listed home which sets a striking image across the local landscape and is recognised as a landmark in this area of the Cambridgeshire fens.
Constructed of a tarred brick tower with a modern polygonal concrete dome, the old mill is now encompassed by a modern red brick building. The Windmill offers accommodation over four floors and the unique benefit of a separate commercial Wedding/Events venue which is fully licensed and offers a good level of income.
Set over four floors, the home offers unique yet practical living accommodation. On the ground floor you have a generous amount of living space which includes the reception room and offers views to both sides of the home, and the second sitting room set around the mill that includes the cloakroom. Steps lead up to the split level to the dining room that forms part of the old mill. From the dining room you enter the kitchen/breakfast room which has a range of base units with butler sink, space for a dishwasher and a double Rangemaster style oven. From the ground floor you also have access to the heated indoor swimming pool that has a changing room and cloakroom.
On the first floor there are three double bedrooms that are each accessed by individual staircases. Both the principal and guest bedrooms have en suite shower rooms, and the principal bedroom built in wardrobes. Within the Mill the circular staircase leads to a further four floors which include three bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Outside the gardens for the house is separate from the remainder of the land creating separation from the residential part of the property and the commercial aspect. The rear garden in enclosed with a large paved patio area which spans the width of the property. The remainder is laid to lawn with a summer house. The highly successful Wedding and Events venue has been built up by the current owners. The site has it's own entrance and offers a fully enclosed reception facility, which includes a licensed bar, cloakroom facilities and kitchen area and a pod with a kitchenette, two bedrooms and a shower room. Surrounding the hall are beautifully landscaped grounds with a pond with an island that is accessed via a foot bridge.
