If you’ve always dreamed of living in an unusual property, a Grade II listed windmill in Kent might fit the bill.
It has been converted into a three bedroom house retaining many of its original features.
Not only does it have its own original imagination, but the mill also has a large open gear on the ceiling of one of the bedrooms.
The gear could have been used to help turn the top of the building and turn the sails in the wind.
