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.

Chester itself has lots to offer too, from well-known shops homed in black and white Tudor-style buildings to impressive walls you can walk which highlight the city and provide incredible views of the landscape.
Life is all about the perfect balance and with the three-bedroom listing being just a 12-minute drive away from Cheshire Oaks, you’re a short journey away from some much-loved retailers and recognisable brands.

Inside the regal Cheshire home for sale on one of Britain’s most expensive roads
Emily Sergeant
A stunning detached family home on one of Britain’s most expensive roads is currently on the market over in Cheshire.
In case you hadn’t heard, a recent report by The Times has revealed where you’ll find Britain’s top 20 most expensive roads for 2026, based off Rightmove data, and Congleton Road in Alderley Edge – slap bang in the middle of Cheshire’s iconic ‘Golden Triangle’ – has appeared in the top five most expensive outside of London.
So we snooped around to see what your money (… or your hypothetical money, at least) can get you on this street, and came across a regal residence currently for sale for a whopping £4.95 million.
This is Highclere – a six-bedroom detached family home occupying a private plot of over 1.3 acres and enjoying panoramic views across the adjoining Cheshire countryside.

Approached behind electric gates, and set back along a sweeping driveway, estate agents say Highclere has been ‘carefully and tastefully’ renovated by the current owners.
It now offers ‘spacious and versatile’ accommodation, and benefits from being within easy reach of Alderley Edge village centre and all the amenities it’s known and loved for.
Some of the stand-out features include an impressive reception hall with large sweeping staircase, open living kitchen with a large central island, large bedrooms, and a full leisure suite with a pool, jacuzzi, steam room, and showers.
There’s also a dedicated bar area, a games room, cinema room, and a gym.
Upstairs is where you’ll find what is described as the ‘unparallelled’ principal bedroom suite with two large dressing rooms, its own living area, en-suite bathroom, and a powder room, as well as four other large bedrooms.
Just as you’d expect, the outside of Highclere is as impressive as the inside.

Not only are there expansive terraced lawns with mature trees and shrubs and two large courtyards perfect for outdoor entertaining, but there is also a large driveway providing off-road parking for multiple vehicles and a detached double garage converted into annexe accomodation.
This property is currently on the market with Alderley Edge-based independent estate agents, Andrew J Nowell, for a Guide Price of £4.95 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.
