A unique and historically important original stone windmill dating back over 200 years and converted in the 60's by a famous local craftsman. It is known to be the only windmill converted by Robert Tatin whose museum dedicated to his work is close by. There is great detail in the conversion with oak folding floors and stairs, necessary for moving furniture from floor to floor with ease. Each of the 5 floors are circular and provide one room per floor. All rooms are approximately 13m². All stairs open at the top with an oak trap door, working on a pulley and weight system.

The windmill was owned by the nearby farm until the then farmer gave it to his mistress Madame Fromage in order that she could always be near him. It was then converted into living accomodation with the architecture and wooden work undertaken by Robert Tatin himself.

The windmill lost its sails in a storm in the 1960's which benefits the property in allowing the top floor to be used as a bedroom. This property is isolated and boasts panoramic views over the local countryside. The windmill sits on its own plot of land of approx 1700m² which offers old oak trees and grassland. The property is surrounded by pastureland.

The windmill is accessed of a country lane which stops short of the property. Therefore a grass track leads up the hill to the property and into the flat garden. The property is accessed with steps up to the large oak door opening into the kitchen with tiled floor. This room boasts exposed timbers, oak doors, oak stairs and feature stone walls. The kitchen work area is very rustic and requires updating.
