apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

What a cute little cottage - and I love the Bathroom!

I adore that copper-colored work surface in the kitchen, and the ivory tiles in the bath ore lovely.

Hey! I lived in an old train station in Kent, England! The architecture was grand and my address was 1 Railway Cottage. (There was only one, so having a number seemed kinda funny.)

You've made me nostalgic now!

I like everything except the TV in the bathroom and I think the kitchen is a little too modern/trendy for the overall bones of the house. Although I do love the copper counters and the way the power outlets are hidden. It's really that stove hood I don't like.

Love the disappearing outlet. Now there's an idea. Are they available in the States?

Hi everyone, Steve Sokalsky here, owner and renovator of Lenwade Station! First of all let me say I agree with your comments. The kitchen was one of the first bits we done and as a result it didn't really fit in with the overall 'look' of the station. We are now planning an extension with a new 'traditional' kitchen with an AGA style hob in place of where the current wood burner is. In answer to the question about the pop up power ports, these are made by Evoline and can be purchased from Worktop Power which can be shipped to the USA and configured for USA plugs by special order I believe.

Also (as an ironmonger) I should point out that we sourced all the handles and knobs from Trade Handles a local supplier we often use.

Finally the copper worktops were created by hand using coper flake mixed with an epoxy resin. This was a very time consuming job that I wouldn't recommend!

All the best from the Station Master!!!
