Windmill House

Formally a pair of Victorian cottages, Windmill House is an unlisted period home located in the rural parish of Edwardstone. The house has been much improved by the current owners, which includes new bespoke double-glazed windows throughout, heating system, two wood burners, replacement bathrooms, and a new oak stairs which has helped reconfigure the accommodation into a more practical and pleasing layout.

Features of its 19th century origins are still apparent, with exposed studwork to the rear hall and sitting room, which also has an attractive red brick fireplace. There is also a similar fireplace to the snug, which is accessed via the dining room. The dining room also offers great scope to be incorporated into the rear kitchen / breakfast room via removal of the dividing wall.

The first floor comprises a spacious rear landing with numerous windows overlooking the rear garden and meadow beyond. The three front double bedrooms also enjoy views over the adjacent garden and street scene beyond.

Outside, the house is set centrally in its principal plot, which chiefly comprises area of lawn with a shingle driveway and parking area. Located beyond the immediate eastern boundary is an additional 1.6 acres of wonderful meadowland which has the benefit of independent vehicular access onto Mill Green Lane to the south. Defined by established field hedges, the meadow is ideal for small scale grazing, however, the land is not registered as agricultural use. Therefore, the meadow has unencumbered use as additional amenity land.
