This carefully styled kitchen, redesigned by British interior decorator Mrs Darcy Braddell, blends traditional country charm with modern functionality.

Glazed tiles and stripped oak joinery add warmth and texture, while terracotta tiles underfoot reflect practical, hardwearing choices. The focal point is a coke-burning Aga cooker with a vitreous enamel finish, paired with a Neverstane stainless steel sink by Benham & Sons.

Stylish yet efficient, this space captures the interwar shift toward hygienic, well-planned kitchens without losing its rustic roots.
