The Calm Kitchen House

You would walk past this house without a second glance, which is rather the point. Behind a modest front door, the ground floor has been opened into a single calm room built around a kitchen of oak and honed stone.

Everything is within reach and nothing is on display that doesn't deserve to be. Upstairs, three quiet bedrooms and a bathroom with a deep tub.

Orchard Lane itself is a slow street. Neighbours who garden, a bakery on the corner, and almost no through traffic.
