This distinctive property offers a rare opportunity for buyers interested in both historical significance and investment potential. The Maud Foster Windmill, constructed in 1819, is an iconic Grade I listed structure situated along the picturesque banks of the Maud Foster. Not only does this seven-storey windmill serve as a functioning mill, but it also operates as a successful business with a profitable retail and flour milling operation.
The versatility of this property is noteworthy. Currently open to the public on select days, the windmill presents an array of possibilities for creative investors. With appropriate planning permissions (STPP), it holds the potential to be transformed into various ventures such as a wedding venue, boutique hotel, vacation rental, or restaurant and shop. The first floor, which previously accommodated a café, could be further developed into a full-time business space.
Inside the windmill, a spiral staircase connects multiple levels leading up to an impressive loft-style penthouse that features three character-filled bedrooms. The aesthetic charm throughout adds to the appeal of the living space, making it suitable as either a stylish residence or part of a larger commercial venture. Additionally, two workshops located on the ground level offer ample room for storage or expansion of business operations.
The property's rear garden provides a tranquil outdoor setting, while parking facilities at the front enhance convenience for both residents and visitors alike. As an established working mill seeking new stewardship, this landmark holds immense potential for those willing to invest time and creativity into its future.
