This striking Victorian former farmhouse with its adjoining annexe, outbuildings and swimming pool stands in more than half an acre of grounds in the village of Wistow. Together, the versatile accommodation provides nine bedrooms: six bedrooms in the three-storey Mill House and a further three bedrooms in the linked cottage, which also has its own entrance and separate utilities."We've been here 34 years, and an important consideration was the property's proximity to Huntingdon for commuting to Kings Cross," recalls David. "We also needed two homes: Mill House provided space for us and our children, while the adjoining building, which had been a grain store and a bakery, was perfect for conversion into a cottage for Pauline's parents. The house and cottage currently share a utility room but the two could be more permanently divided or more intimately connected; they're only separated by stud partitions, so the layout could be reconfigured to suit different needs." "We made all kinds of other improvements," says Pauline. "For instance, we got all the oak-framed Victorian sash windows working again, installed secondary double glazing, put in fireplace surrounds, and added loft flooring. We installed an Aga in the kitchen, which features 1970s' Habitat 'Terence Conran' cabinets. We reinstated the wrought iron railings at the front of the house and found and put back the original front door, which had been blocked off.""Our principal entrance is via the enclosed and private rear courtyard, which is the centre of everything," continues David. "Overlooked by both Mill House and the cottage, it includes a pergola and an ornamental pond. We improved the outbuildings, roofing the space between the single garage and the cottage to make a workshop. We enclosed the detached open barn and fitted barn-like doors, creating a double garage and a coal store with a covered passageway between that leads to the courtyard. We added a mezzanine for storage too.
