Overview

Tower House is situated on the outskirts of the Flitch town of Great Dunmow. The brick built windmill was originally known as Church End Mill and was built by William Redington a miller from Harlow in 1822 for John Fuller. The mill ceased working in 1892 when the sails were removed, by 1907 it was being used as a studio and during World War Two it was used as an observation post. A new cap was fitted to the top of the mill in 1974. An historical note about the mill suggests it was a five storey tower mill with a conical cap and a ball finial with four single Patent sales carried on a case iron windshaft winded by a six bladed fantail. The tower is 40ft (12’19m) high and20ft (6.10m) diameter at the base.
The property is Grade II Listed and the listing suggest that it is a Tower windmill and Mill House, now all a dwelling. Built 1822, in red brick, with domed cap. 5 storeys to tower, and 2 storeys to main house. 3 window range casements and vertical sliding sashes. Grey slate hipped roofs.
The tower mill was purchased as a derelict windmill and cottage known as Church End Mill, Dead Man’s Lane, Great Dunmow and the current owners step Grandfather Colonel Campbell Mellis Douglas VC moved in in about 1902 and rebuilt the house.
The current accommodation is a mixture of the Victorian house and the mill. The accommodation is impressive and well-proportioned accommodation including a dining hall which leads to a drawing room which leads to the circular base of the mill. At the back of the property there is an excellent kitchen/breakfast room which is well fitted with modern appliances and a utility room, as well as a large triple aspect family room.
On the first floor there are four bedrooms and three bath/shower rooms and a laundry. The main bedroom is in the tower and has a dressing area and an open tread staircase to a second floor den/study and to third and fourth floor store rooms. There is a cellar under part of the house.
Outside, there are several timber framed outbuildings and an established garden with an attractive outlook over open fields and woodland behind. There are two driveways and an area of land which could be a potential building plot. Planning consent has been granted for a cart lodge.
