Rodings Millhouse and Windmill

As you arrive, you’ll be greeted by the charming and historic Aythorpe Roding Windmill, nestled in the peaceful Essex countryside. Set on over 2 acres of private gardens and surrounded by open fields and working farms, it offers a truly unique and tranquil escape. Whether you’re exploring the grounds or relaxing in the serene setting, it’s a place to unwind and reconnect with nature. The space The miller’s house dates to 1850 and sits beside Aythorpe Roding Windmill — the largest post mill in Essex, with origins in 1615 and the current working structure built around 1779. Set on over 2 acres of private gardens, the house has been recently refurbished with all the comforts of home. You’ll have four large bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen/diner, utility room, dining room, a cosy snug, and a spacious lounge with two wood-burning stoves — perfect for relaxing after a day exploring the countryside. Wildlife lovers will enjoy regular visits from deer, badgers, foxes, and pheasants. Depending on the season, help yourself to apples, plums, figs, and greengages from the garden trees — and don’t be surprised if a friendly robin joins you on your walk. Tours of the windmill and roundhouse can be arranged on request — just ask! We’re also close to several wedding venues and only 9 miles from Stansted Airport, making this a convenient yet peaceful escape. Browse our photos to get a real feel for the space — and we look forward to welcoming you to this truly special place.
