The sweeps and fantail of the windmill are currently missing. Oare Windmill, along with Mill Cottage and The Mill House, forms a group of related buildings.

It experiences an average of 20 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 79% of listed buildings. Of these, 11 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.
