Site overview
Windmill at Mill House is the Historic England listed name for the former windmill on Peterborough Road, Stanground. The official list entry describes it as a circa mid nineteenth-century brick tower mill, circular on plan, with five storeys remaining. The cap and rails have been removed, and the floors and machinery have also been removed.
The building was listed at Grade II on 24 February 1982. A Cambridgeshire windmills survey records the same site as Windmill at Mill House, Peterborough, known as Stanground Mill, and notes that it was house converted. Windmill World identifies the same coordinates as Stanground tower mill, house converted before 2003.
The consulted sources do not provide a builder, working history, sail arrangement, machinery details or closure date. The surviving structure is a listed tower-mill shell adapted after working use.

History
Windmill at Mill House stands on Peterborough Road at Stanground. Historic England records the official listed name as Windmill at Mill House and gives the statutory address as Windmill at Mill House, Peterborough Road. The list entry identifies it as Stanground Windmill at Mill House and describes it as a circa mid nineteenth-century brick tower mill.
It is circular on plan, with five storeys remaining. The cap and rails have been removed, the window openings are flat arched, and the floors and machinery have been removed. The building was listed at Grade II on 24 February 1982.
The Cambridgeshire Watermills and Windmills at Risk survey records the same site as Windmill at Mill House, Peterborough, known as Stanground Mill, and states that it had been converted to a house. Windmill World identifies the site as Stanground tower mill and records it as house converted before 2003. The accessible consulted sources do not identify the original owner, builder, millwright, sails, windshaft, stones, gearing, millers or final working date.
The documented survival is therefore the brick tower itself, now stripped of its internal mill floors and machinery and converted after its working life.
