A rare and unique opportunity to acquire one of Boston’s most iconic landmarks: the Maud Foster Windmill as featured on ITV This Morning and Fox News. 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.
All viewings are strictly by appointment. Please contact Bruce Mather Estate Agents at[use Contact Agent Button] to arrange a visit.
