 The Hunsett Mill house has been used over the last decades as a stand-alone primary residence and holiday home.Major damage was caused to the sails of the windmill in the Great storm of 1987, which resulted in one of the sails being completely replaced with wood especially shipped all the way from Canada.On 5 May 2007 another storm caused the fan to be torn of the fanstage which was repaired in the summer of 2008.
