Windmill makeover
Built in 1891, this recently converted 18m-tall windmill is now a holiday home, offering guests unique accommodation and panoramic views of the surrounding Suffolk countryside. When the owners bought the property, it was in a sorry state of repair. It had been used as a store when the sails stopped turning in 1900 and then later left derelict. The project has given the building a modern twist, with a zinc clad pod topping the architectural landmark.
