With Great British Bake Off on our screens again, we thought we’d find some amazing kitchens we’d love to bake in. Join us as we take a look around a select few… although we have plenty more just like these on our website!
Mill House, Fleet
Mill House as an equisite home, having been substantially refurbished by its owners who have beautifully blended old with new. The huge kitchen breakfast room is no exception, which stretches across the width of the rear section. It has been fitted with a luxury Tom Howley of Cambridge bespoke kitchen with solid Silestone Quartz worktops. Three top of the range Miele ovens incorporating one steam oven and two full size ovens offer plenty of space to cook bread, cakes, cookies and more. As a an added bonus, these can all be controlled via your mobile phone… There is also an integrated Miele dishwasher for washing up your bowls and spatulas, and a Miele microwave in a cabinet for melting the butter quickly. There is also a Fisher & Paykel fridge drawer in the kitchen with a further fridge freezer in the utility. If you fancy a glass of wine whilst you bake, why not choose a bottle from the mQuvee wine cave which has space for 45 bottles and dual temperature for both white and red wine! And that’s not all… there’s plenty more to shout about about this kitchen – it really is the stuff of dreams. Read more
Drove House, Surfleet
Drove House is a small country estate, where the kitchen is a very impressive aspect and ideal for baking scones or muffins after a game of tennis or a swim in your grounds. The owners have extended and refitted the kitchen as they love to cook and entertain. Now it is a vast, almost square room with tiled floor and plenty of space to cook and dine under the large roof lantern in the extension which benefits underfloor heating. A fine, white Aga stands proudly in the chimney breast. Although now disconnected it can only look on at the busy electric Smeg range-style cooker. However, it could be reconnected should someone so wish. The owners say: “The kitchen was a 1960s relic – it was quite literally like stepping back in time! We do have visitors and entertain a lot, often 12 to 14 people so we have two dishwashers – I’m not sure how we manged before with just one! We have a big American-style fridge in the kitchen and another in the pantry.” Read more
Woodcroft Road, Marholm
This incredible home is an extended bungalow – a renovation project undertaken by the current owners. The big kitchen/dining/family room is the centre piece, with pops of blue in the kitchen’s tiles and lower cabinets making for a lovely touch in synch with the house’s calming colour palette. There’s plenty of counter and cupboard space to store your flour, cookie cutters and mixers too, alongside an island with a sink, as well as a wealth of room for tables and social sofas to enjoy your home made goodies with family and friends.

Bridge House, Fishergate
Bridge House is a hugely impressive barn extending to just over 4,300 sq ft. This extraordinarily sleek, spacious, minimalist home is located in an idyllic spot beside a waterway, and boasts a kitchen fitted with everything you need for some baking fun. The fitted kitchen incorporates all Neff appliances. A bank of floor to ceiling units flanked by shelving, has two eye-level ovens with hide-and-slide doors, alongside a microwave and warming drawer, and a tall, larder fridge with freezer below is disguised behind doors. An induction hob with a pop-up extractor sits in the quartz island and the inset sink has a Franke Omni 4-in- 1 tap with filtered cold and hot water, including boiling water. An adjoining wraparound breakfast bar simulates polished concrete and provides a good run of space at which to prepare your ingredients as well as sampling your tasty creations. Read more
The Old Vicarage, Gosberton
This former Victorian vicarage stands in the heart of the South Lincolnshire village of Gosberton. Given its heritage, it boasts original features including quarry tiled flooring, panelled doors, deep skirtings, mouldings, dado rails, ceiling roses and original fireplaces. The bespoke kitchen doesn’t disappoint, having been updated by the owners. They have installed new oak worktops, tiling and painted all the units, and added a Graphite 110 cm Everhot range with a focal surround which is a wonderful centre point and gives a lovely warmth to the kitchen. The kitchen has a very practical layout with plenty of storag, which makes it ideal for baking. There is also a walk-in pantry and two additional storage rooms close to the kitchen providing further space for your baking ingredients, equipment and accessories. Read more
Grange Court, Carlby
Grange Court is a stunning, stone-built, Grade II listed barn conversion on the edge of the Lincolnshire village of Carlby. Baking enthusiasts will love the exposed beams above them whilst preparing their latest sourdough, and that there are in fact two kitchens – one in the main home and the other in the East Wing. Should you be baking for the masses, that extra kitchen may just come in handy! The main kitchen is bespoke handmade with all Neff appliances, a boiling water tap and a Miele dishwasher, whilst the other has granite worktops and Franke taps. Read more
