The Chitty Chitty Bang Bang windmill goes on sale for first time in 35 years at 9 million pounds., Ibstone & Turville, Buckinghamshire, UK - 15 Aug 2023

The famous windmill that was the location of Caractacus Pott's home in the Hollywood hit movie made in 1968, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang has gone up for sale for the first time in 35 years. Painted with a classic black base, cap and sails, the Cobstone Windmill in Ibstone, Buckinghamshire, overlooks the beautiful village of Turville. Savills and Private View Property has been tasked with selling the world-famous Bucks property valued at £9 million. Called, Cobstone Mill, it is one of the most famous windmills in the world. It is located in the village of Turville, which was previous used to film scenes from the Vicar of Dibley tv series, and is thought to have been originally built around 1816 as a smock mill, which reportedly ground cereal until 1873. Cobstone Mill was identified as a potential site for the 1968 musical by researchers working for Albert 'Cubby' Broccoli, a man known for his vital role in producing the James Bond movie series. Broccoli's team restored the windmill's exterior for filming, which began after the filmmakers completed You Only Live Twice, the fifth edition of the iconic Bond franchise. After the film became a major hit, actress Hayley Mills and her film director husband, Roy Boulting, bought the mill at auction in 1971. Currently the property boasts a grand double-height drawing room with floor to ceiling doors that open on to a large terrace overlooking the sheltered swimming pool. Meanwhile, the Grade II listed windmill itself had the sails restored fully by the current owner in the last 18 months. Internally, the original mill workings are a key feature, with a winding staircase leading from the ground floor reception room to bedrooms on the first and second floors.
