Description

This is a distinctive opportunity to own the Maud Foster Windmill and Granary, a prominent Grade I listed structure dating back to 1819. Located on the banks of the Maud Foster, this seven-storey windmill operates as both a flourishing business and residence. Currently functioning as a shop and flour mill, it boasts a history of profitability with potential for further development. Historically used as a café, there are possibilities for transformation into diverse ventures such as a wedding venue, hotel, holiday let, or restaurant (subject to planning permissions). The first floor offers opportunities for repurposing and expanding business operations full-time. The property features an impressive winding staircase leading up to a loft-style penthouse comprising three tastefully designed bedrooms that retain their unique charm. In addition, there are two workshops located on the ground floor, along with a garden at the rear and ample parking at the front. The windmill is seeking new stewardship to navigate its future potential while appreciating its rich historical significance. This offering may also be available alongside an adjoining five-bedroom Mill House for those interested in further investment.
