Description

An iconic former windmill, beautifully reimagined as a remarkable country home with panoramic views, flexible accommodation, and rich historical character.

Perched in a commanding position over the rolling Lincolnshire countryside, The Mill is a striking and historic Grade II Listed former windmill, thoughtfully converted into a truly unique private residence. Dating back to 1820, this former tower mill originally served as a grain mill before ceasing commercial operation in the 1920s. Left in disrepair for decades, it has since been sympathetically extended and transformed into a highly individual home, combining character and artisanry with modern comforts.

With its distinctive circular brick tower and soaring internal volumes, The Mill offers exceptional accommodation arranged across multiple floors. Rich in charm and period detail, the home features exposed beams, original floorboards, and curved walls that create a remarkable sense of space and history.

The home comprises three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a sitting room, and a large kitchen diner. The double garage sits beneath the studio which offers opportunity for further accommodation with parking for up to four cars and an easily managed garden.

Accommodation

The ground floor welcomes you into a spacious and inviting kitchen and dining room, the social heart of the home. Handcrafted cabinetry wraps the round interior, beautifully complementing a central island that encourages both entertaining and day-to-day living. Double aspect windows, a window seat, and terracotta flooring complete the room with warmth and rustic appeal.

Beyond the kitchen, a practical ground floor shower room with space for laundry utilities leads through to an inner hall with bi-fold doors leads through to the integral garage. This generous, double-aspect space offers internal access to a superb studio above, presenting excellent scope for a home office, guest suite, or annexe—subject to any necessary consents.

From the kitchen, stairs rise to the first floor where the main sitting room enjoys elevated views and features access to a Juliette balcony, cleverly created from the original grain delivery doorway, now repurposed as a characterful space from which the countryside views can be enjoyed.

Three bedrooms are arranged across the upper levels. Bedroom two benefits from an en suite bathroom, while bedroom three, currently used as a second reception room, occupies the next level.

At the top of the tower, the principal suite is a striking double-height space with mezzanine level above providing access to an en suite shower room. The mezzanine also provides access onto a spectacular rooftop terrace offering panoramic, far-reaching views, an extraordinary vantage point from this landmark building.

Outside

The Mill is approached via a gravel driveway with parking for up to six vehicles. The garden wraps around the north and west elevations of the property and has been landscaped to provide both privacy and ease of maintenance. Mature trees and hedging frame areas of lawn. A winding path, incorporating an original millstone which adds a further nod to the home’s rich agricultural past.
