Mill Lane, Friskney, Boston, Lincs PE22 8SF

Built for a local farmer in 1985, Mill House was in the ideal position for the present owners when they bought it seven years ago. With careers enabling the couple to work from home and commute occasionally, they have been able to take full advantage of all the benefits of quiet country life - big skies, walks along the nearby coast - and yet are only six miles away from all amenities.

The property is approached over a large block paved driveway, which is sweep-in, sweep-out with two sets of double five-bar gates and ample parking and turning space for many vehicles as well as access to a detached triple garage. This peaceful plot is totally private, thanks to well-maintained beech hedging and several attractive and well-established trees, flowering plants, shrubs and bushes that offer year-round shape and structure.

As you can clearly see from our photographs, with such an incredible eye for styling they have loved every minute spent renovating Mill House into the fabulous home it is today, and it comes as no surprise that the property even has its own Instagram account.

The redesign of the whole house has been so well considered that nothing here has happened by chance; the intended project has come together beautifully. While the floorplan of the property with four double bedrooms and three reception rooms remains versatile enough to suit the lifestyles of many different types of buyers, the cohesive mixture of natural materials like the South African wenge wood in the kitchen blend perfectly with more contemporary finishes. The end result is a fresh, modern style that is both relaxed and comfortable.

It is easy to see that the owners enjoy every aspect of the property, and the outside space is as valuable to them as the house itself. Several special areas have been created for relaxing, working and entertaining at home. From the little summerhouse and vintage style glasshouse tucked away in the shade of the trees in the orchard, to the raised beds in the kitchen garden and the private, hydrangea-filled courtyard garden, every inch of this unique property is enjoyed to the fullest - a feeling that is carried with you from the minute you step through the door.
