A period property with a former windmill in its grounds in Burgh, near Woodbridge, is up for sale at a guide price of £2.25 million. 

Mill House and the Grade II listed former windmill are believed to have been built in the early Victorian era. 

There’s also a detached cottage, equestrian facilities and a tennis court in the grounds, which are in a secluded spot surrounded by countryside just four miles from Woodbridge. 

Tom Orford, of selling agent Savills, said: “I love the setting of this property – such a wonderful family house with so many other component parts to it which make it very special.

“The area is also appealing and so close to Woodbridge, one of the nicest towns in the county.”
