It's time to start living your Jonathan Creek life with this beautiful £550k windmill near Rugby

Rugbeians proficient in magic tricks and mystery solving may be interested to know of an historic windmill conversion that's up for grabs in Thurlaston.

You too can can live like the Alan Davies' character from the BBC drama in this beautiful windmill, where stunning period features are everywhere and beams that look as if they could prop up the HMS Victory abound.

The Old Mill is thought to have been built at some point in the late 18th century, and its impressive height comes from the need for its sails to be well above all other buildings in Thurlaston.

Now it serves as a three-bedroom home, spread over five floors and complete with cellar and a charming garden.

Perhaps the crowning glory of the mill is the top-floor study, which boasts views across Draycote Water and the beautiful countryside that surrounds it.

An open-tread staircase is the method of navigation up and down the levels - meaning the property comes with added fitness benefits.

But with two of the bedrooms having en-suites, you won't have to walk far should water closet-related needs arise in the night.

The mill is on sale for £550k and is marketed by Fine & Country, see www.fineandcountry.com/uk/property-for-sale/rugby-thurlaston/cv23-9jy/1836255 for the full listing.
