As a convertedwindmill, this property is certainly one of a kind.This 6 bedroom 5 bathroom stylishcharacter property really is like no other.The unique Grade II listed countryresidence is a converted windmill that isidyllically set within easy reach of theA17, A1 North and the A46. With superbrail links nearby, Newark North Gatestation offers a direct service to LondonKings Cross. Sitting within a 6-acre plot,the home offers gorgeous panoramiccountryside views.Gordon Marshall bought the landholding the windmill over 20 years ago,as well as the land next to it over 35years ago on which started his business.According to Gordon, the sails of thewindmill were blown off a long timeback, and so in 2007, he decided it wastime to renovate it – something he hadalways wanted to do. Managed by hisson, Richard, it took three years of hardwork and determination to complete,and though the renovation was certainlyan incredible success, Gordon says he“would not do it again,” due to howextensive it was.Upon entering the home, one isgreeted by an entrance hall with anatrium staircase, a cloakroom/toilet, autility room and a sitting room with aroaring open fire. This section of thehouse also contains a large open plankitchen, which holds a generous featureisland and dining room. The kitchenmanages to maintain a classic feel, withits wooden cupboards and stone tiledfloor, whist being completely modern,and newly built.The ground level of the mill is next asyou walk through the property, and hasimpressively been converted into anextra reception room that is ideal forsocial gatherings. This, however, is onlyone of three reception rooms that thehome holds.14 ÁOne of a kind12-17.qxp_Layout 1 18/04/2018 09:42 Page 1LINCOLNSHIRETODAY13HOMES12-17.qxp_Layout 1 18/04/2018 09:42 Page 214 LINCOLNSHIRETODAYHOMESLeading off from here is a relaxing,purpose built, orangery which connectsthe main building of the house to a twostory annex. This annex makes theproperty perfect for two generations whowant to share the house while having theirown space as is on its own wing of sortsbut, as it is so well connected, remainsintegrated in the social family areas.Originally built in 1840, the Mill sectionof the abode has five floors. It features anatrium landing which connects to thesecond floor of the house, offering accessto the master bedroom which contains alarge ensuite with two sinks, a bath andshower. It is also worth noting that all ofthe bedrooms in the main house featuretheir own personal ensuite. In hisrenovations of the windmill, Gordon tookdown the once rotten heavy beams,replacing them respectfully with oldbeams that Gordon says look like theyhave been there for numerous years,maintaining the properties historicalintegrity.Continuing in the windmill, its secondfloor offers access to a small Balcony thathugs the building. The real magic,however, comes once you have climbedthe 68 steps to the top of the windmill –the fifth floor – where you will reach theobservation room. This provides theperfect opportunity to take in the landsstunning views which, unlike in themajority of homes, are panoramic andthus like no other.There is also the potential to use aroom in the windmill as an extrabedroom, which would certainly be aunique space to rest in. Also, with a toileton the third floor one need not worryabout being too far from a bathroom.Away from the house, the land alsofeatures a 16,000 sq ft. workshop, whichwas used in the past as the commercialunit for Gordon’s furniture businesses:Windmill Pine. Taking inspiration from hisproperty, Gordon has marked each pieceof furniture with a windmill. The businesshas now, of course, expanded andmoved off site. This highly useful unit cantherefore now be used for anything. Forinstance, it might be used for some sortof engineering. If you have your ownbusiness, then, this is the site for you.One must also remember to mention16 Á12-17.qxp_Layout 1 18/04/2018 09:42 Page 3HomeGardenBeautyFashionHomeGardenStarts Saturday 28th AprilUpholstery • Dining & Occasional • Beds & Bedrooms Fitted Kitchens • Electrical Appliances • Garden FurnitureStores in Grantham, Boston & ScunthorpeShop sale online at www.oldrids.co.uk Sale ends 27/05/18 or whilst stocks last.12-17.qxp_Layout 1 18/04/2018 09:42 Page 416 LINCOLNSHIRETODAYHOMESthe ample amount of parking that theproperty provides in its triple garage.After 35 years why is Gordon is sellingthe property and land - the place wherehis business began?

Applying this same coming together of cultures tointerior design is yielding some impressive results. One of the most excitingstyles to emerge recently is ‘Junaglow’ – a splicingtogether of jungle and bungalow coined by LAdesigner and blogger Justina Blakeney. This style is inspired by the jungle, be that throughhomages to plants and animals, or borrowing fromSouth American styles. It has attracted legions ofbohemian types, who have mixed in their own vintageaesthetic, culminating in something on the cuttingedge of interior design. Now you can bring a touch ofthe jungle to your own home in Lincolnshire.While we wouldn’t advocate decking out your wholehome in this style, setting aside one room or a nook isa great place to start. The conservatory may even bethe best option, particularly as it’s at the intersectionof garden and home. For inspiration, think bright colours, plenty of plants, luscious fabricsand patterns galore. For those fed up with minimalism, jungalow may just be for you. (1) This stylish cushion from Art Wow has a simple foliage print hand make in the UK.
