This barn conversion is filled with pretty furniture and hand-finished granite worktops. A raised wooden breakfast bar and stools provide a handy place to sit and enjoy informal meals. A mixture of creamy, painted furniture teamed with solid oak cabinetry makes the most of the light, spacious layout and allows the rustic beams overhead to take centre stage.

Kitchen storage
A cut-out drawer makes the most of the space around the sink, providing a useful space for storing tea towels and cleaning equipment. It also creates a visual link with the timber elements throughout the room.
Dining area
In addition to the occasional seating at the island, a table and chairs offer a place to enjoy formal meals. Flanked by a larder freezer and storage cupboards, a glass-fronted cabinet behind showcases chic crockery.
