About this Property
A unique and truly iconic Grade II listed converted windmill set on the banks of the River Bure, offering immense character and charm with breathtaking panoramic views, over 50ft of private river frontage and a further 36ft mooring, set back from the main river.
Originally dating back to the late 1800s and thought to have been converted into a residence during the 1930s, this historic, instantly recognisable property is arguably one of the most photographed and painted, anywhere on the Broads. The compact accommodation is all arranged within the octagonal ground floor section and consists of a kitchen, sitting room, dining area, one double bedroom, two single bedrooms and a shower room.
There is also a chamber on the first floor, accessed via a ladder, which provides access out onto the flat fibreglass roof.
Maintained to a very high standard by the current owners who have had a completely new cap fitted, constructed from larch and oak, five years ago along with new sails installed four years ago.
Currently run as a very successful, well established holiday let, available fully furnished (by negotiation) and with bookings already in place for the entire 2021 season and beyond.
This is an incredibly rare opportunity to acquire a wonderfully unusual riverside property, set in one of the Norfolk Broads’ most sought after location.

There is also access up into the cap.
OUTSIDE
The Windmill occupies an impressive position on the banks of the River Bure, with unspoilt views out over the water and approximately 50ft of private quay headed river frontage. The Windmill occupies a corner plot with the quay heading continuing along the side, which leads to a further 36ft long side on mooring towards the back of the plot.

The Mill comes complete with a private parking space set just off Ferry Road. A short pathway connects the two.
