If you are looking for something a bit different to the traditional two-up, two-down, how about a 200-year-old converted windmill, complete with five holiday cottages.

Reeds Rains said: "We are excited to offer to market this rare opportunity to purchase an amazingly restored windmill.

"Buckton Mill is steeped in more than 200 years' worth of history and used to be a old grain mill."

An annex provides extra living space, with Reeds Rains saying the property "brings old and new architecture harmoniously together creating the most visually exciting property to look at".

Turning left takes you to the light and airy lounge in the annex, while turning right leads to the original windmill, which features the kitchen/dining room on the ground-floor.

The kitchen offers a bespoke, fitted Shaker-style kitchen which runs around the circular wall of the windmill. (Picture: Reeds Rains)The kitchen offers a bespoke, fitted Shaker-style kitchen which runs around the circular wall of the windmill. (Picture: Reeds Rains)

Two further bedrooms can be found in the windmill itself.

Bedroom two, on the first floor, is "a wonderful double bedroom", while bedroom three is on the second floor - both have walls "following the curve of the windmill".

A mahogany staircase then leads to the third floor and what Reeds Rains describes as "the most spectacular room in the windmill".

It says: "On reaching the top of the windmill, you walk into a double-glazed cap.

"The summit of the windmill offers far-reaching, spectacular views across three bays of the East Yorkshire coastline, views over open countryside and views over nearby local villages."

Reeds Rains says: "Not only is this an opportunity to live in a Grade ll-listed windmill, but also run a business from home.

"Buckton Mill comes complete with five two-bedroom holiday cottages, each with their own unique character."

"Standing adjacent to the old windmill, these former farm buildings have been carefully converted to provide very comfortable holiday cottages."
