Property information

Cley Windmill has been around since at least 1819 and was a working flour windmill for over a hundred years. It has been used as a home and holiday home for the last hundred. The Windmill has had many owners and has been loved through the years, it was also a location in the Elizabeth Taylor film, The Conspirator, 1949. The Windmill still has many features including the internal mechanical system to turn the sails, which is part of a bedroom! The balcony and rooms look over the Cley marshes, coast, village and beyond. We have 3 pet friendly rooms, Boat House, Long House and Dovecote.
