Introduction
Aylsham Windmill is a converted cornmill and an 80ft brick tower, so its unique structure means access is more limited than a typical holiday home.
With the exception of the entrance level, all rooms are accessed via stairs. The staircase follows the shape of the building and becomes slightly narrower as it rises.
This means the property may not be suitable for guests with limited mobility.
If you are unsure whether the windmill is right for you, please feel free to get in touch — we are always happy to help.
