White flat-fronted kitchen units with an oak worktop and a white ceramic sink under a window, open shelves of plates and jars, plants. A small black wood stove on a slate hearth with a log basket, a worn leather armchair and a linen sofa. A farmhouse table with mismatched chairs by the glazed door, open onto the yard and fields. Lime-washed off-white walls and wide oiled pine boards.
