The home of Northamptonshire couple Simon West and Katie Slinn will feature on BBC 2’s ‘Britain’s Dream Homes’ programme on Monday 18 February. The challenge is to find Britain’s best mill conversion in three different price categories. Presenter Melissa Porter was impressed with the ground floor apartment in the converted Grade II listed mill in Blisworth. It is on the market with Jackie Oliver & Co Estate Agents & Surveyors for £224,995, so fits into the price category of up to £250,000.
The former pepper and spice mill was converted nine years ago and the apartments are much sought-after. The property has a spacious kitchen/dining room, sitting room, two double bedrooms and two bathrooms. A unique feature for the Mill, this apartment has its own private access to the entrance hall and a beautiful canal-side terrace.
Simon comments: “The film crew were here for several hours and there was also a local historian to explain some of the mill’s history. We found the experience nerve-racking, being in front of the camera is not something we do every day but hopefully, the beauty of the mill and the canal-side setting will show through on the programme, they say the camera never lies! We are reluctant to leave but this has been a memorable end to our time at the mill.”
Britain’s Dream Homes will be aired on BBC 2 at 5.15pm on Monday 18th February, but can also be viewed via the internet on www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer
