2/7 Oast house hop press
One of the many original features retained in this house, the original hop press makes quite a conversation piece. White walls and neutral floors allow it to take centre stage in the hallway.
3/7 Kitchen-diner
Stairs lead down from a mezzanine seating area into the country-style kitchen-diner. A warm oak wooden dining table adds rustic charm and an enamel jug filled with flowers from the garden makes an attractive centrepiece. A bespoke dresser lines the back wall keeping pretty tableware and accessories on display.
