Charing Windmill

The mill features dark timber weatherboarding contrasting with a brick base, creating three distinct floors within an eight-sided smock structure.

Built in the early 19th century, the windmill operated until 1891 when operations transferred to Field Watermill, with its sails removed in 1917.

The structure represents traditional Kentish industrial engineering, incorporating common and spring sails powered by wind through a cast iron windshaft system.

The property includes 1,400 square feet of living space across four stories, with a kitchen, dining room, and three bedrooms on separate levels.

An original fantail and large exposed cog remain visible on the ceiling of one bedroom, demonstrating the mechanical heritage of the building.
