About this home
A Rare Opportunity to Own a Piece of Boston’s History – The Iconic Maud Foster Windmill and Mill House as featured on ITV This Morning and Fox News.
Presenting a unique chance to acquire one of Boston’s most celebrated landmarks, the Maud Foster Windmill, along with its charming Mill House, both steeped in history since 1819.
The Maud Foster Windmill, a striking seven-story, five-sail structure, stands proudly on the banks of the Maud Foster, the waterway from which it takes its name. This Grade I listed building is not just a piece of history; it remains fully operational, continuing to grind flour as it has for over 200 years.
Currently, the windmill runs a thriving shop and flour business, with a profitable operation open to the public on Wednesdays and Saturdays. There is significant potential to expand to a full-time venture, tapping into the property’s rich history and prime location. The site also previously housed a café, presenting additional commercial opportunities.
Inside, a winding staircase leads to a loft-style penthouse that exudes character and charm. This unique space is currently configured with three bedrooms, offering stunning views and a truly distinctive living experience. The property also features two workshops on the ground floor, a garden at the rear, and ample parking at the front.
Adjacent to the windmill, the Mill House complements the property with its traditional elegance. The house boasts spacious rooms with high ceilings, all freshly painted in a crisp white. The upper floor includes five well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom. Downstairs, you’ll find a second bathroom/utility room, a kitchen, a dining room, and two reception rooms.
The house is surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens, including vibrant flower beds and a greenhouse. Additionally, there is a large garage with potential (STP) to be converted into an annex or granny flat.
This exceptional property is available for viewing by appointment only. Cal
