The unusual Grade I feature is a one-of-a-kind because it is the oldest working post mill in the whole of Britain

A SMALL stable conversion has gone on the market for a whopping £800,000 - because it comes with a 350-year-old windmill.

A lucky homeowner will be given the chance to live in the three-bed stable conversion with access to Britain's oldest working post mill.

The one-of-a-kind, Grade I listed windmill could be the window view from a three-bedroom stable conversion, which can be bought together for £800,000.

Outwood Mill, in Outwood, Surrey, was built in 1665, when Charles II was on the throne.

There are just a handful of working post mills left in Britain and the Outwood mill is one of only about 25 windmills of all types that still operate.

Estate agent Robert Leech, a resident of the area for more than 35 years, thinks that the home is every bit as unique as it sounds.

He said: "If you ask anyone if they know of Outwood, I guarantee the response will be along the lines of 'yes, the place with the windmill'.

"Arguably, it is one of the most famous and iconic structures in Surrey.

"Outwood Mill quite literally is unique, being the oldest working windmill [of its kind] in the country, standing serenely in the centre of the common as it has done for hundreds of years and now the chance to own this piece of history could be yours.

"This could be a wonderful opportunity for entrepreneurs to take the windmill forward into the future."
