Built in the 1840s, Windmill House has abundant character, stunning views and scope to make this fine home their own.

One enters the property via a bright and spacious entrance hall, with doors radiating to the principal reception rooms.

A kitchen/breakfast room has space for a table and pantry. From the kitchen is a sizeable boot room, cloakroom, a large store and rear entrance. There is also a ground-floor shower room accessed from the reception hall.

There is a shower unit and sink to double bedroom two, and double bedroom three also has a fireplace and a fitted cupboard. There are two further bedrooms, both with fitted sinks and beautiful views, a family bathroom and a separate WC.

It is clear that Windmill House is an exceptional family home; although it needs modernisation, this fine family home truly is an excellent opportunity.

The gardens and grounds wrap the property in its entirety, with the formal gardens being well stocked with herbaceous borders and specimen trees, including what remains of a grass tennis court, orchard, vegetable patch and pond. Beyond the formal gardens are several paddocks which lend themselves perfectly to the equestrian buyer

Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
