For sale in two lots or as a whole. HISTORICAL NOTE Originally a corn mill, Asterley Windmill was constructed in 1809. It is of brick and stone built structure and is one of the few surviving windmills in the country. The mill was extensively rebuilt and restored in the 1980s. LOCATION The property is situated just under 10 miles south of Shrewsbury. It is 2 miles from the neighbouring villages of Pontesbury and Minsterley which provide an excellent range of facilities including supermarkets, schools, restaurants, village pubs and health care amenities. The property is therefore very well placed for commuting within Shropshire while still achieving that country lifestyle. DESCRIPTION The Mill House is constructed of stone under slate. It has partial double glazing, mains electricity and water. The house does not have oil or gas central heating however there are two wood burners, one of which provides hot water from a back boiler, additional hot water is provided by an electric immersion heater for the hot water. The ground floor provides a kitchen, two reception rooms, access steps down to an excellent cellar, and an office. The first floor contains four/five bedrooms and provides three bathrooms, one being an en-suite to the principal bedroom. The house is in need of renovation so a perfect opportunity to put your own stamp on the property. There are a number of small buildings in a varying array of disrepair, which provide an opportunity for storage or development subject to obtaining the relevant planning permission. THE WINDMILL Traditional stone windmill, complete with internal oak floor landings and stairs, with a timber roof and the sails largely intact, having been rebuilt and renovated with new oak. While the exterior of the mill is near completion the interior is still a work in progress. THE LAND The property is divided into two principal parcels of productive farmland, complemented by a cluster of charming paddocks surrounding the picturesque Mill House and historic Windmill. The main fields are regular in shape with a gentle slope, offering excellent accessibility and workability, while the surrounding paddocks feature a more undulating topography—believed to be shaped by historic mining activity—adding unique character to the landscape. The soil is predominantly a medium to heavy clay loam, well-suited to a variety of arable and pasture-based enterprises across the two main parcels. The smaller paddocks, meanwhile, offer ideal grazing opportunities and provide flexibility for livestock use. Overall, the land appears in good heart, with boundaries defined by traditional hedgerows and well-maintained post-and-wire fencing. Each parcel benefits from independent access to the public highway, enhancing operational convenience and potential for future diversification. SERVICES The property benefits from mains water and electricity connections while foul drainage is to a septic tank.
