Description
Sarre Mill is a windmill built in 1820 for John Holman of Canterbury, and heightened in 1856 for Thomas Holman. It is a timber-framed structure with weather boarding above a tarred brown brick base. The mill has an octagonal plan, typical of a smockmill, and a gambrel-roofed cap. The sails and fantail have been removed and relocated to Cranbrook. Boarded doors are located to the north and south, leading to flights of wooden stairs. The mill was undergoing restoration at the time of re-survey.

Sarre Mill sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 700 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 90% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 59% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 10 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 90% of listed buildings. Of these, 6 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.
