Since then, they have renovated the house from top to bottom.

Beautiful, durable flooring provides an elegant yet practical foundation for a home designed equally for grand entertaining and relaxed family life.

Set within just over three acres, Benningham Grange Barn is a magnificent 17th-century barn conversion combining exceptional scale, character and contemporary family living in an enviable rural setting. With superb open-plan accommodation, six/seven bedrooms, extensive ancillary space and planning permission for an impressive indoor pool complex, this is a substantial country home with remarkable further potential. Originally dating from the 1600s and sympathetically converted in 2006, this barn beautifully marries the character of its timber-frame heritage with the demands of modern family life. From the moment they moved in, the current owners felt safe and have greatly enjoyed the generous spaces and a wonderful sense of connection to the surrounding countryside. With no onward chain, the property is now ready for its next chapter and new owners will have considerable freedom to tailor individual rooms on both floors to suit their lifestyle, whether as family bedrooms, guest suites, dressing rooms, home-working spaces or extra TV/hobby rooms. Step Inside Entering the property into the vast vaulted entrance hall, one feels the scene is well and truly set for all the barn has to offer, with space welcoming the whole family as they tumble through the doors. At the heart of the property is a superb open-plan living environment, designed to bring family and guests together while offering flexibility for both everyday life and entertaining. The kitchen, dining room and family/breakfast rooms are all interconnected by open beautifully crafted open beam work, so the chef can chat to guests at the table whilst cooking, mum can keep an eye on children playing on the terrace or doing homework. The opportunities for entertaining on a grand scale are brilliant and the current owners have held parties here for over 40 people with space for all to eat, scatter to the various rooms to relax and of course sleep over. This open plan area itself has been repurposed over the years with the dining room being a lounge, and kitchen as a family room. Just off the kitchen is a small lobby with its own external door, leading to the former attached cart lodge which has been thoughtfully converted to create a highly versatile additional space incorporating a kitchen, cloakroom, sitting room/cinema room, two further bedrooms and a bathroom. This provides an ideal arrangement for guests, older children or those seeking independent accommodation and has been well used. Across the main entrance hall along the hallway, you’ll find a dedicated home office, ideal for the hybrid working lifestyle so many of us now embrace. There are also two further bedrooms, both offering their own lounge space, with one benefiting from a private ensuite and the other served by the family bathroom and these are ideal for those guests needing more accessible facilities, or for multi-generational living where one bedroom could be a repurposed as a living room. French doors open from the breakfast room, entrance hall, study and one bedroom onto a tasteful terrace running the length of the barn bringing the outside into every aspect of life here. Explore Upstairs Beautifully crafted oak stairs lead up to a true wow-factor: a vaulted drawing room flooded with natural light from a bank of electric roof lights. In summer, these can be opened to let a cool breeze drift through, while throughout the year they frame ever-changing views of the sky, from clouds sweeping overhead to the soft glow of a peaceful sunset. This is a room that really comes into its own at Christmas, wood burner crackling away, and the whole extended family gathered together for films, games and making festive memories. The beams are dressed in greenery, and a beautifully decorated Christmas tree takes centre stage, creating an inviting space for everyone to relax and enjoy. A gorgeous mezzanine runs across this room, overlooking the breakfast area and a further mezzanine leads to two further bedrooms, each again benefiting from the electric roof lights that bathe the rooms in natural light. Even on the dullest of days, this entire floor feels wonderfully bright, airy and uplifting. A further family bathroom and separate WC complete the first floor. Step Outside Set in an enviable rural position, the 3.06 acres (STMS) grounds provide an outstanding sense of space, privacy and connection with the countryside. The property is approached via a shared driveway and benefits from a substantial triple and double cart lodge, providing extensive garaging with fully boarded storage above and generous parking. The terrace running the width of the house has ample space for barbecuing, dining and lounging and brings the whole ground floor together outside. The gardens have been purposefully created to offer lawns to play sports on, and a rewilded area for wildlife. The current owners have planted over 100 trees and love to walk at dusk and witness how the woodland and meadow space attract deer, hares and a plethora of birdlife including woodpeckers, Barn and Tawny owls and songbirds. The grounds are pure paradise for bringing up small children with freedom to safely roam yet experience raw nature too. Exciting opportunity lies in the planning permission already granted for a substantial rear extension. The proposed scheme incorporates a 10x4m indoor swimming pool and impressive atrium linking to the main house and the cart lodge, with master suite and annexe upstairs.

Hides Farm is an impressive country home in a wonderfully private rural position on Crowland Common, set within circa three acres and enjoying far-reaching views across the surrounding fenland. Designed and built by the current owners, the house combines the presence of a traditional Georgian-style farmhouse with the comfort and practicality of a much newer home, creating a property of generous proportions, strong individuality and considerable flexibility. The setting is a significant part of its appeal. Positioned at the end of a single track country road, the property has a rare sense of seclusion, with open countryside around it and very little passing traffic. The approach is suitably handsome, with a sweeping gravel driveway leading to the front of the house, lawns and paddock land extending around it, and the stable block and garaging giving the whole property the feel of an established rural home. Although modern in construction, Hides Farm was designed to sit naturally within its setting. The exterior has the balanced symmetry and composed proportions of a traditional farmhouse, with red brick elevations, sash-style windows, a slate roof and carefully chosen detailing. The planning requirements at the time of the build were exacting, with traditional materials and finishes specified to ensure the house had an authentic rural character. This included hardwood windows and doors, black metal rainwater goods, approved brick and mortar colours, English garden wall bond brickwork and detailing intended to reflect the surrounding fenland architecture. The result is a house that feels settled and timeless from the outside, while offering the reassurance and convenience of a contemporary build. Inside, the house has been created as a proper family home, with an emphasis on space, sociability and comfort. The reception hall makes an immediate impression, rising to a galleried landing and giving the house a sense of scale from the moment you step inside. It is a generous, welcoming entrance rather than a purely formal one, with parquet flooring, a broad staircase and enough volume to give the interior real presence. It was also designed with Christmas in mind, with the height and proportions to accommodate a large tree, which says much about the spirit in which the house was created. The interiors are highly individual and full of character. While entirely decorative and therefore easily adapted to suit a new owner, they give the house a memorable personality and a clear sense of having been lived in and enjoyed. Country references, sporting pieces, hat lamps, framed pictures, patterned papers and collected objects appear throughout, creating a look that is confident, playful and personal. This is not a neutral show home, but a house with warmth and identity, and the generous proportions of the rooms provide an excellent backdrop for either bold decoration or a more restrained future scheme. The ground floor is arranged with a clear sense of balance. On either side of the reception hall are two well-proportioned formal reception rooms, each with a fireplace and a pleasing sense of symmetry. The sitting room and drawing room give the house flexibility for family life and entertaining, allowing quieter spaces to sit separately from the more informal kitchen and dining areas to the rear. The kitchen and dining room form the natural heart of the house. Designed as a sociable farmhouse-style space, it has ample room for a large table and is very much a place for gathering, cooking and conversation. The timber cabinetry, range-style cooker, stone flooring and outlook towards the garden all contribute to its relaxed country feel. A pantry sits just off the kitchen, while the adjacent utility room, cloakroom and storage provide the practical support that a house of this scale requires. Opening from the kitchen and dining area, the orangery brings in excellent natural light and gives the rear of the house a strong connection to the garden. With glazed roof lanterns and wide windows, it is a particularly appealing space from which to enjoy the outlook across the grounds. The owners have described watching distant fireworks from here and from the patio, with the fenland skyline lighting up around them, which captures the sense of openness that defines the property. The first floor is arranged around the galleried landing, with four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The principal bedroom is especially generous and has its own en suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by the family bathroom. The layout is straightforward and well balanced, with rooms of usable proportions rather than awkward secondary spaces. Above, a substantial loft provides further useful storage. One of the important features of Hides Farm is the attached ancillary accommodation. It is not a separate annexe, but it is arranged to offer a degree of independence, with its own living space incorporating a kitchen area on the ground floor, together with a cloakroom, and a bedroom and shower room on the first floor. It also has its own access, parking and garden area. For future owners, it offers valuable flexibility, whether for guests, older children, dependent relatives, working from home or other requirements, subject to any necessary consents or arrangements. The external space is equally important to the way the property works. The grounds extend to circa three acres and include lawns, paddock areas, a stable block and a triple garage. The stable block comprises stabling, a hay barn and a tack room, reflecting the fact that the land was originally chosen with horses in mind. Over the years, the stables and outside space have also accommodated a variety of other animals, giving the property a genuine rural quality rather than the feel of land kept only for appearance. The gardens and paddocks provide space on a generous scale. They have been used for large family gatherings, celebrations and outdoor entertaining, with plenty of room for guests to spill outside. A full-size pizza oven, housed to the rear of one of the garages, adds another sociable feature and is to remain with the property. The broad terrace to the rear of the house creates a natural setting for outdoor dining and seating, with the house, garden and open views working together extremely well. Despite its rural feel, Hides Farm is not remote from day-to-day amenities. Crowland is only a short drive away, with Market Deeping, Spalding and Peterborough also accessible. Peterborough is particularly useful for commuters, offering wider road and rail connections while allowing home life to remain peaceful and distinctly rural. The position may also be of interest to families considering schooling in Spalding, Peterborough or at Wisbech Grammar. For everyday convenience, the owners have also found that supermarket deliveries make the setting entirely practical. The sense of peace is one of the property’s defining qualities. The road does not carry general through traffic, and the surrounding footpaths and fields reinforce the feeling of space and calm. It is the kind of setting that offers the rewards of rural living in their truest form: quiet, openness, birdsong, big skies and the ability to step outside and feel immediately removed from the rush of everyday life. What makes Hides Farm particularly appealing is the combination of substance and personality. It has the scale and flexibility expected of a substantial country home, with four bedrooms in the main house, attached ancillary accommodation, generous reception space, garaging, stabling and land. Yet it also has a story and character that distinguish it from more conventional modern houses. It was built as a long-term family home and has been shaped with care, humour and affection over the years. For the next owners, it offers a rare opportunity: a modern country house with traditional presence, land and outbuildings, strong rural privacy and adaptable accommodation, all within reach of local centres and Peterborough. Hides Farm is individual without being impractical, rural without being inaccessible, and substantial without losing its warmth. It is a house made for family life, animals, gatherings, quiet mornings, big views and the particular pleasure of being somewhere that feels entirely its own.   Disclaimer: These property details, whilst believed to be accurate, are set out as a general outline only for guidance and do not constitute any part of an offer or contract.

Seller Insight Viola has been our home since 2012, and from the very beginning, it's been something truly special. We built this house ourselves with a dream of creating the perfect family home, and over the years, it has become exactly that and more. What first drew us here was the location. As you turn down the private road, there's an immediate sense of calm, it feels like stepping into another world, far removed from the noise and busyness of everyday life. That feeling has never faded. Because we built the house, we were able to create a space that perfectly balances family living with entertaining. We didn't cut corners when it came to comfort, and every detail has been thoughtfully considered. It's a home that feels luxurious, yet completely practical too. Features like the internal laundry chute have made everyday life that little bit easier. We've taken great care of the house over the years, and it's something we're really proud of. The kitchen is without a doubt our favourite room. It's the heart of the home - somewhere we can cook and spend time together while entertaining. In the summer, opening the doors creates a seamless flow into the garden, while in the colder months it still feels warm and cosy. It's a space that just works, no matter the season. The garden was always central to our vision. With its large wraparound patio, it's peaceful and private - a real escape. It's been the perfect place for long summer days and evenings, with the TV, sound system, and outdoor lighting creating a lovely indoor-outdoor lifestyle. This has always been a home made for entertaining and bringing people together. From movie nights in the cinema room when the children were younger, to hosting Christmas with family returning year after year, it's a house full of life and memories. There's plenty of space for everyone, so it never feels crowded- just warm and welcoming. The community here is something quite rare. It's quiet and private, yet always supportive when it matters, it's a lovely balance of seclusion and connection that's hard to find. What we'll miss most is the love, care, and thought that went into building this home. It's more than just a house to us - it's been a huge part of our lives, and leaving it won't be easy. We're moving to be closer to family, and we know it's the right time. We truly hope the next family will love this home as much as we have.
