A FIRST-CLASS BRICK TOWER WINDMILL,
With the Goodwill of the capital old-established thriving Trade connected therewith.
DWELLING HOUSES, GOOD PREMISES AND PADDOCK, IN THE FLOURISHING TOWN OF SAWSTON.
Mr. Benjamin T. Thurgood
Is instructed by Mr. Mumford, the proprietor and occupier of the above property, TO LET THE SAME BY AUCTION, at the Bull Inn, Sawston, on Wednesday, 14th February, 1866, at Three for Four, p.m., for the term of Seven Years from the ensuing Lady-day,
THAT very superior White-Brick TOWER WINDMILL, with 5 floors, driving 3 pairs of French stones and patent sails, recently erected in an artistic style, at the cost of a considerable sum of money, by Mr. William Rawlings, of Cambridge, and complete in all its arrangements, including appliances for steam power.
A DWELLING HOUSE, journeyman's house, two granaries, an engine-house, three-bay wagon lodge, coal-house, stable, chaise-house, harness room, chaff-house, a yard and garden, and a close of meadow land, a short distance from the mill, containing 1a. 2r. 11p. The two granaries and the mill are estimated to stow 500 quarters of corn.
There is a capital paying trade connected with this property, which is advantageously situated near the town, and about 1 1/2 mile from the Whittlesford and Abington stations, and two miles from the Shelford station.
The hirer will be required to find an approved surety, and to keep the premises in tenantable repair - the landlord finding bricks, slates, rough timber, and lime; and also to take by valuation the straps, cloths, chains, ropes, pullies, shaker, and utensils and tools in trade only.
A draft of the proposed lease may be seen upon application to Mr. Mumford, upon the premises. Mr. Thurgood has confidence in directing attention to the fact that the town of Sawston has the fortune of having two most important manufactories conducted by opulent gentlemen, employing many hundreds of workmen at an adequate rate of wages, which tends much to the prosperity enjoyed by the trade of the town.
Further particulars may be had of W. B. Feeland, Esq., Solicitor, Saffron Walden; and at Mr. Benjamin T. Thurgood's Land Agency and Auction Offices, Saffron Walden.
