Lovett&Co. Estate Agents are delighted to offer for sale The Windmill, an extraordinary and truly unique family residence centred around an historic former windmill, believed to date back to at least 1816 and forming one of the most distinctive landmark properties in the South Staffordshire area.

Steeped in history and character, the original windmill is understood to have operated under sail until the late 1870s before later being converted to steam power. Following a period of dereliction, the building was converted into residential accommodation, with substantial rebuilding and extension works subsequently creating the impressive and highly individual home seen today.

The property combines extensive traditional living accommodation with the remarkable four-storey circular windmill tower, retaining a wealth of character features including exposed beams and timbers, unusual circular rooms and the distinctive boat-cap roof with weather vane.

The main residence offers particularly generous and versatile accommodation, with a substantial lounge featuring an impressive carved fireplace and minstrel gallery, a fitted kitchen, utility, conservatory and family bathroom.

A superb master bedroom suite provides considerable space together with a mezzanine dressing area, additional office/occasional bedroom and an en-suite bathroom incorporating its own sauna.

The original windmill tower is accessed from the main accommodation and provides four further levels of fascinating living space. The ground floor features a circular sitting room/bar, with bedrooms occupying the first and second floors, while the uppermost level provides a superb study/playroom beneath the characterful boat-cap roof.

Externally, the property occupies established and well-stocked grounds with lawns, mature trees and shrubs, stone and granite pathways, terraces and an ornamental pond/water feature. Further features include a detached double-width garage, useful garden stores and outside WC, while distinctive period details such as the traditional red post box add further individuality to this remarkable home.

Situated in the sought-after South Staffordshire village of Little Saredon, the property enjoys a semi-rural Hamlet setting while remaining well placed for Cannock, Wolverhampton and surrounding towns, together with access to the A5, A34, M6, M6 Toll and wider Midlands motorway network.

The Windmill is a property that simply cannot be appreciated from photographs or a floorplan alone, and an internal viewing is strongly recommended to experience the scale, character and extraordinary layout of this unique landmark home.
