The Grade-II listed building, between the villages of Appleton Roebuck and Bolton Percy, near York, dates from 1820 and ground corn until the 1930s

Brothers Henry and John Houseman, whose father Harry purchased the windmill in 1964 as part of a plot of agricultural land, are now selling the structure John’s wife Jane says: “We are looking forward to seeing what sort of exciting restoration project will transform this amazing old building.
