This L-shaped kitchen is open-plan with a peninsula separating the dining area, an Aga at one end and three windows stretching across its entire length. With so many lovely original features to show off, a simple, streamlined Shaker kitchen is an unfussy option.

2/7 Cooking area
The Aga is an essential part of the kitchen's character. It's paired with a retro-style matt-white tiled splashback, which is finished with grey grout to emphasise the brick pattern.

A double-bowl farmhouse sink is ideal for large Aga pans and the surrounding iroko worktop is naturally resilient to water. Keep the area around the sink well-oiled to avoid staining and warping.

The ceiling beams have been painted white to compensate for the lack of light. A large dining table provides plenty of seating space for guests to dine in.
