Situatedonly a few minutes from the HumberBridge, its position is a perfect mix ofcountry aesthetics and convenientcloseness to major roads.The house itself has been a labour oflove for Nick and his wife, who havetransformed the property from what itonce was – totally rebuilding andrefurbishing the inside to bring it up tothe standards they demanded. Withpicturesque brick walls dominatingA homewith a twistNothing quite espouses Lincolnshire like its equestrianheritage, and this reader’s home comes with its own indoorequestrian arena.14 Á13-17_Layout 1 18/10/2017 10:03 Page 114 LINCOLNSHIRETODAYHOMESrooms, along with bright colours and airyopen spaces, it’s a property that feelslarger than it is, which is already animpressive feat on its own since it boastsliving space of about 3,500 sq ft. As Nick points out; “There was a lot ofwork to be done when we first purchasedthe property, but everything has grownsince then. It’s taken a long time to get itwhere it is today, but it’s beenenjoyable.”The attention to detail can be seen inthe presentation of the property withbright colours and plenty of light are theorder of the day, with large openwindows flooding the property withsunlight. The upper rooms are aparticular delight, with sloped ceilingsand white walls contrasting with oakenfloors. Earthen tones are commonplace,complimenting the brick walls and tiledfloors, especially down in the kitchen andfamily rooms. It’s a mix of rustic charmand modern living that blends seamlesslytogether to create something homely andcharming, without seeming old-fashioned.But it’s not just the house itself thatimpresses.

Purpose-built, it hoststwelve indoor stables, a ménage, lunging circleand well-enclosed post and railed paddocks.Along with the 11.5 acres of land nearby, it’seasy to see the property’s appeal as a home forpeople with an equestrian flair. The exterior is no less impressive, with a16 ÁGenerous access tonatural light helps makeeverything feel more openMore natural stone addsrustic charm13-17_Layout 1 18/10/2017 10:03 Page 316 LINCOLNSHIRETODAYHOMESlarge and well-maintainedgarden, with plenty of spaceand a wooden gazebo forlazy days in the sun. Theproperty itself is set in 11.5acres, and is very privatethanks to the gentle hills andfully-grown trees thatsurround it – almost seemingto cut it off from the hustleand bustle of everyday life. All in all, it is a reader’shome suffused with character,given life thanks to theowner’s conscious desire to rebuild andrenovate everything, bringing it into themodern era. With three car garaging, aself-contained apartment and plenty ofland, there is boundless potential forfuture development, especially for peoplelooking to make their own mark on thisever-growing property. The fact that it isbased in Barton only makes it all thebetter, the area already being a highlypopular one with buyers across thecounty. “The area is fantastic,” Nick explains.“Barton is such a wonderful place to liveand there’s always something to do.We’re close to the Humber, but it’s not along journey to theLincolnshire Wolds, either.”In fact, Nick and his wifelove the area so much,they won’t be moving far.“We’ll be moving into anearby bungalow werefurbished for my motherand father. Now thatthey’re gone, it standsempty, and we think it’stime to downsize from solarge a house. We’ll stillbe living in Barton, and justdown the road.”As such, the home is now on themarket with Fine & Country, Lincoln,with a guide price of £997,500. Thereare, however, options to purchase thehouse, equestrian arena, and thesurrounding land as individual plots, or tocombine them together in any order.

For too long designers have prescribed either atraditional or modern approach for the kitchen, but thereare no hard and fast rules here, so why not mix things upand, to quote a certain pop song, go your own way. Just because the kitchen is the space reserved forpreparing and eating food, that’s not to say that the décorchoices have to reflect that. Try injecting a little bit of yourown personality and great creative. A little bit of kitsch inthe kitchen goes a long way, so don’t be afraid of a touchof flamboyance. Themes continue to be a popular choice whendecorating the kitchen and provide a focus to base designdecisions on. So often these will range from the sterility ofmodern chrome and glass to the quaint farmhousekitchen. Better to break out of this binary means ofthinking and truly make the kitchen your own. It is theheart of the home, after all. 18-19_Layout 1 18/10/2017 10:09 Page 1LINCOLNSHIRETODAY19HOMES© shutterstock/Breadmaker12345618-19_Layout 1 18/10/2017 10:09 Page 2Next >
