Buckinghamshire, £1.375 million
When moving to a new town, it’s important to make your presence known. One way to do this would be to tower over your neighbours, perhaps in a large windmill, such as The Windmill in central Wendover. The structure originates from 1796, but was converted into a residential space in the 1930s and offers five bedrooms, four bathrooms and three reception rooms, stacked one upon each other over six floors. The views from the top are, unsurprisingly, glorious and the property also comes with a generous private garden, featuring lawns, shrubs and a paved sun terrace. The loft room, which occupies the top floor, still features much of the original windmill mechanism. Tim Russ (01494 674321)
West Yorkshire, £1.25 million
From the outside, Laurel Farmhouse in the historic village of Bramham, West Yorkshire, seems like a traditional northern farmhouse. It’s got all the hits: walls of stone, a charming tiled roof, an elegant kitchen, exposed beams and fireplaces and a courtyard garden to the rear. What sets it apart from other homes in the area, however, is that it comes with its own private pub. Yes, the introverts among you can celebrate, as you pour your own pints or mix your own drinks behind the bar for your family and friends. Combine that with four bedrooms, four bathrooms and three reception rooms, and you have the ideal property in which to entertain. Carter Jonas (01423 393326)
