A truly stunning four-storey windmill has been converted into a dream home and has now gone on the market for £850,000 in the rural setting of Cheshire.
Ever fancied living outside of the usual four walls and roof? How about living in a house with just one curved wall and a pretty big fan on top?
This place will make the rolling fields of Cheshire feel more like Amsterdam and with 1.65 square metres of space, you can easily fit more than a handful of tulips into your garden.
Located just outside of Greater Manchester and very close to Chester – only about 10 minutes, in fact – the interior of this luxury home is arguably even more eye-catching than the windmill itself.

The first floor has a spacious sitting area which with a bit of creativity could easily be turned into something similar to a cinema room, for cosy nights in or even entertaining guests.
If you don’t have enough space to host all your friends and family, why not sit one or two of them on the balcony which is attached to this level?

Two bedrooms are spread across the second floor with one bathroom space which will be shared between both these rooms.
For those of you who are DIY fanatics, the property even has planning permission for a two-storey extension, if you want to add your own personal touch to your new home – not that this pad needs anything more done to it, mind you.
The third and highest floor has an impressive master bedroom with its own en-suite shower room and with its incredible height, this room boasts views of the Cheshire countryside.

Inside the £1m historic terrace for sale on one of Greater Manchester’s most sought-after streets
Emily Sergeant
A Grade II-listed property forming part of one of Greater Manchester’s most historic and sought-after rows has gone on the market.
And if you happen to have £1 million you’re willing to part with, then it could be yours.
Now, of course, as we always say before we write about these stunning homes, it goes without saying that the vast majority of us won’t have this kind of money just chilling in bank accounts right now, but if like us, you’ve got no shame in admitting you love looking at houses you can’t afford in places you’ll probably never live, then allow us to introduce you to this absolute beauty.
This five-bedroom end terraced property sits pretty on The Downs – which is by far one of the most recognisable row of houses in Altrincham – and it’s wrapped in the distinguished architecture of the 1830s, both on the outside and the inside.
With accommodations beautifully arranged over four floors, estate agents describe the home as being simply ‘exceptional’.
Benefitting from being just a stone’s throw from the thriving market town of Altrincham and everything that makes it so beloved, as well being only a 10-minute stroll to Hale village, this Grade II-listed gem manages to blend contemporary comfort with the timeless elegance of its historic 19th century surroundings.
Some of the property’s stand-out features have to be – and trust us, it’s hard to narrow down – the open-plan lounge and dining space that flows seamlessly into the stylish kitchen, and outside to the private outdoor terrace, and an additional enclosed walled garden.
There’s three generous-sized double bedrooms on the first floor of the home, while the attic level houses a tranquil en-suite escape at the top.

The newly converted basement level provides an ‘impressive’ extra dimension to the home, according to estate agents, as well as the fifth and final bedroom – ideal for guests.
And, of course, the location of the home itself is a huge selling point for prospective buyers.
Altrincham is often named as being one of the best places to live in the UK, and for being perfect for families, in particular, thanks to its easy access to a wide range of amenities, excellent local schooling options, transport links into Greater Manchester and beyond, and for having green spaces on the doorstep.
This property is currently on the market with Altrincham-based estate agents, Clifford Saunt Homes, for Offers Over £1 million, and if you fancy taking a closer look, then you can contact the agents to arrange a viewing.
Or you could just take the cheaper route instead and have a nosy at the Rightmove link here.

Inside the most expensive apartment for rent in Manchester that looks like a five-star hotel
Daisy Jackson
A new apartment has gone on the rental market in Manchester that’s immediately become the most expensive in the city.
The luxurious penthouse has three bedrooms, its own cinema room, and access to an 18m swimming pool, jacuzzi and steam room.
Its fixtures and fittings are so lavish, it looks like a five-star hotel – and for good reason, because this apartment actually belongs to the residential arm of a premium aparthotel brand.
Coming in at a mere £15,000 per month (the ‘mere’ was sarcastic), this swish home is part of CitySuites II in Embankment West.
It’s actually so expensive, it comes in a whopping £2,500 a month more expensive than the next most-expensive apartment, which is one of the Deansgate Square penthouses.
The new Embankment West neighbourhood is in Salford, just across the river from Deansgate and Spinningfields.
And while CitySuites is maybe best-known for its aparthotel, short-stay offering, they also have a number of long-term residences – like this particular fancy SuperSuites penthouse.

It includes an open-plan living space with a fully equipped designer kitchen, a dining area, and a plush lounge and cinema room, with views of Manchester Cathedral from one of two balconies.
There are three bedrooms, each with hotel-quality king-size beds, a spa-inspired bathroom with rainfall shower, smart technology, high-speed Wi-Fi, flat-screen TV, and plenty more.
And it gets the future tenant access to CitySuites II’s premium facilities, like an 18m swimming pool, jacuzzi and steam room, a 24-hour state-of-the-art gym, and a 24 hour concierge.
The apartment also comes with private car parking, and private lift access.
