Cool place of the week: The Windmill, Suffolk

When I was very young I had a fascination for Enid Blyton’s Faraway Tree – in particular the treetop home of the character Moonface, where all the furniture was curved to match not only the shape of the tree but also his round, moon-shaped face.

Windmill Conversion

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.

Metsa Wood: Windmill Conversion Project

Professional Builder reports on a stunning windmill conversion using Kerto LVL Engineered Timber Solutions for Roof Systems.

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.

Beech Architects were the architects involved in this interesting, yet challenging project, where the client wanted a new cap based on the traditional ‘inverted boat’ form, exploiting the stunning views over the Suffolk countryside.
