Description

The building is a former windmill combined with a house, dating from the early 19th century. The house is rendered and features a low-pitched pantile roof with gabled ends. It has two storeys and includes two sash windows with glazing bars. There is a later projection on the ground floor, along with a pentice hood over a modern bay window that has a panelled door positioned between them.

To the right (southwest) of the house is the mill, which has a small casement window on the first floor and a loft door. The ground floor includes a segmental-headed doorway and a cart entrance. At the far right end (southwest) is a circular tower mill made of tarred brick, which stands four storeys tall and has segmental-headed openings. The cap and sails of the mill are missing.

Local climate

Former Windmill sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 730 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 80% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 95% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 31 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 61% of listed buildings. Of these, 17 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
