The shaker style kitchen units were hand made locally, installed Nov 2015, with Weyland handmade beeswax finished handles and knobs. The handmade zinc worktops kill bacteria, as used by Victorian oyster shucking stall owners to keep oysters fresh and clean. The zinc is also resistant to staining (unlike granite and marble), fairly easy to re-surface if damaged and not expensive to replace compared to stone. The units are all free-standing to minimise any damage to the building. The island has 4 double power sockets and 2 usb charging points. Double Butler sink. Space for 10 seat dining table. Window seat with storage beneath. LED downlights.

Attic Room The pine cladding covers the steelwork in place to support the roof, after the main tie-beam was cut in error about 70 years ago. Surveyor confirmed there are no structural issues. There is a lot of insulation behind the cladding making this quite a warm room. Used as a double bedroom but could be used for storage/office.
Utility Room Butler style single utility sink installed 2017 with zinc worktops either side. Plumbing for washing machine and room for tumble dryer. Feature brick wall. Slanting glass double glazed roof. Stone floor.

There is a herb bed, vegetable patch, and fruit bushes. The flower borders were designed for minimal maintenance, with a number of established rosebushes and shrubs.
