Windmill’s ‘Grand Designs’ project

The property is constructed on a sandstone base with an engraved date stone placing the original part of the house in the Georgian period.  

In the early 20th century the windmill was owned by the Earl of Shrewsbury who rented it to Colonel Thorneycroft of Tettenhall Towers, now Tettenhall College, who built the upper storey as a room from which to survey the Shropshire Hills.

The Earl of Shrewsbury sold it as part of his estate in 1918 to a Mr Hoole, who in turn sold it a year later to the current family.

The windmill was extended over the ground and first floors in the early 1960s to add more living space.
