UK Windmills and Watermills for sale

Please note: I do not guarantee that these properties are still for sale - I include an entry when I discover the link, and only remove it when I find that the link is broken - details may remain online even after the property is sold. In general, I add entries to the bottom of the list. Dates, where given, are the date I became aware of the property - these are not the date the property came on the market.
