“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.”

“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.”
