A quiet location surrounded by the open vista of fenland, where the only sound is birdsong, this small park enjoys a remote charm.

Just two miles from Lincolnshire's port of Boston, where the River Witham flows in to the sea, lies a small residential park. It's quiet – on the day of my visit the only sound was birdsong. Yet aircraft and maritime history, plus all the convenient elements of a town, is a five-minute drive away.

Since my first visit last year, Hall Hills has developed. New roadways have been put in – and more plots have been made. The plots available are a range of 40, 44 and 46 x 20 plots which suit larger style homes.

The road to Hall Hills somewhat prepares you for the tranquil location you're about to discover on arrival…

Driving across the flat agricultural lands that characterise this region, in the short journey from the A17 I had crossed the River Witham three times on narrow, quaint bridges.

Homes at Hall Hills

Hall Hills is a neatly-kept park. It's gradually expanding; the maximum number of homes here will be 40. All the new homes here are constructed by Tingdene; a show home gives potential buyers a good indication of the sort of home they can choose here. It's a Tingdene Barnwell, a 38ft x 20ft home.

Tingdene offers a multitude of options on décor, kitchen fittings and furnishings. There's a wide choice of layout, too. But actually the Barnwell show home is gorgeously appealing; it's tempting to say 'why look further?'

It's finished in pale grey and with a terracotta-shade brick base.

It has two entrances, one into a hallway, the other into the kitchen. Unusually, the lounge, kitchen and dining room are three totally separate rooms.

The kitchen, complete with a dishwasher and washing machine, features a grey and white marble-effect surface and gloss grey unit doors.

This home, pried at £119,000, has two twin bedrooms, one of them with a large walk-in dressing room equipped with a variety of hanging and shelf spaces.

History of Hall Hills

Hall Hills has a long history. It was originally a railway sleeper factory. Timber was shipped into Boston from Germany and Scandinavia, and the agricultural proceeds of the Lincolnshire fens was shipped out. That was in the 18th century. Railway sleepers were made on the site of Hall Hills until the 1970s.

In the early 2000s a park home company bought the site and installed residential park homes. R.S. Hill and Sons bought the park five years ago.

Boston

It's a fascinating port with many restaurants, many with menus influenced by overseas cuisine, especially Portugal. Boston has two 24-hour supermarkets, a department store and markets are held here twice a week.

Aircraft history

Aircraft enthusiasts will love the park's proximity to RAF Coningsby, where the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight is stationed; historic aircraft are regularly visible from Hall Hills.

RAF Coningsby is the guardian of RAF history; it's home to what is rated as the most diverse collection of flying aircraft in the Royal Air Force: two Typhoons, a Tornado, and famous trio – Spitfire, Hurricane and Lancaster, plus a Dakota and a Chipmunk.

Wildlife

Sky-borne interest arrives in a natural form here, too. The RSPB reserves at Freiston, two miles from Boston, is the nearest reserve to the park. And there are 100 Wildlife Trust reserves in Lincolnshire. Seals are a common sight on the shores of the Wash and at Donna Nook, further north along the coast.
