A rare and unique opportunity to acquire one of Boston’s most iconic landmarks: the Maud Foster Windmill. This historic, Grade I listed windmill, built in 1819, stands proudly on the banks of the Maud Foster from which it takes its name. The seven-storey, five-sail windmill is not only a working mill but also a thriving business, currently operating with a healthy profit as a shop and flour mill, and previously as a café.

Open to the public on Wednesdays and Saturdays, the Maud Foster Windmill presents an exceptional commercial opportunity. With a creative vision, energy, and the appropriate planning permissions (STPP), the windmill could be transformed into a variety of ventures—from a wedding venue to a café, or even unique accommodations. The first floor, which once housed a café, could potentially be repurposed and the business expanded to full-time operations.

The windmill boasts a winding staircase that leads through several floors, offering access to an incredible loft-style penthouse. This penthouse is currently arranged with three beautifully decorated bedrooms, exuding character and charm. Additionally, the property includes two workshops on the ground floor, a garden at the rear, and ample parking at the front.

This much-loved working mill, available for purchase on its own or alongside the grand five-bedroom Mill House, is in need of a new caretaker to guide it into the next chapter of its storied history.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
