If you're after a room with a view, a windmill in Tiptree could be the ideal home for you.

The unique residence, with a circular lounge and plenty of original features, has been put on the market for £245,000.

The 18th century property has four floors offering panoramic views of the village and beyond.

Original mill workings are a striking feature of the lounge and circular bedroom, with heavy exposed timbers throughout the windmill.

It may look rustic from the outside, but the three-bedroom windmill has been converted to include all mod cons

There is a fitted kitchen, double glazing and central heating as well a large modern bathroom.

The windmill stands in grounds of a quarter of an acre, with a garage, workshop and other outbuildings.

It also has a large pea shingle drive so there is plenty of room when all your friends visit to admire your unusual new home.
