Pairs Windmill conversion will blow you away. Among the day’s baubles and tinsel, they spotted an advert in our paper for a home – with a
derelict windmill attached. And that’s where their labour of love began.
Their ‘project’ began life in 1891 and was first a windmill perched high on a ridge just two miles outside Lavenham.

Eight properties in Suffolk and Essex have been shortlisted for a prestigious architecture award.

Towards the end of 2014, Steven Roberts contacted us with regard to an old windmill that he planned to renovate and use as a holiday let. Originally built in 1891, the windmill was in a state of disrepair and required an extensive programme of renovation which included an insulated render system.

Cockfield Windmill, situated in the heart of the Suffolk countryside, was a former windmill structure recently converted to accommodation for holiday lets. Before it was converted, the structure was just a mill stump constructed of brick with a traditional tar coating which no longer had its sails or cap.
