Back in May, when we invited readers to enter the annual Period Living Home & Garden of the Year Awards, we never imagined just how many wonderful entries we’d receive. We deliberated long and hard over photograph after photograph of amazing renovations, stunning interiors, and gorgeous gardens. We admired and marvelled at the hard work that had gone into making those homes and gardens look as good as they do. We will be featuring the projects in full in future issues of PL, but for now, here is a sneak preview of our 2022 winners...
HOME OF THE YEAR
Our Home of the Year 2022 is a Grade II-listed former mill house and has a remarkable story to tell. The overall winner of this year’s awards was once part of a Hertfordshire farm. Although there is thought to have been a dwelling on the site since the 14th century, the present house dates back to the early 17th century, when it comprised just a couple of rooms before being altered and extended in Georgian and Victorian times.
