For sale: Clayton Windmills home 'Jack and Jill' up for £3m

The Grade II listed 19th century windmill and attached roundhouse is currently on the market, the property also comes with a converted granary and 20th century mill house. 

The property sits within an acre and a half of land overlooking the village of Clayton, nine miles out of Brighton. 

The home was re-designed by the award-winning architect Sarah Featherstone of Featherstone Young in 2016 and the house itself was the recipient of two RIBA awards in 2017, including a Conservation Award.

Originally built in 1963 for golf writer and broadcaster Henry Longhurst, the Mill House was designed by Brighton Marina architect Peter Farley. 

Contemporary in style the property  maintains the traditional black-and-white vernacular of Sussex mills which was boldly updated by Featherstone Young’s with a punched-aluminium facade.

Entry to the mill house is at ground level to an entrance hall with glazing and access at both aspects. There are three bedrooms and a shower room on this level.

Most of this level, however, is given to a sweeping open-plan kitchen, dining and living room with oak-parquet flooring, suspended log burner and a substantial amount of glazing with incredible panoramic views.

The kitchen is bespoke and has a basalt worktop and an island topped with African hardwood, iroko.

A walled courtyard links the mill house and the granary which is described as a versatile, open space with a raised-ground level seating area and steps down to an expansive double-height entertainment room which is currently being used as a music room.

The one-and-a-half acre garden has a stone-walled dining space, as well as a wood-burning pizza oven, growing beds and a fruit orchard.

The property is available on Rightmove.
