OLDBERROW, HENLEY-IN-ARDEN

This stunning kitchen sits perfectly in this juxtaposition of ancient and modern, with its clean lines complementing the new and planed iroko panelling a nod to the old. The socialising area is a delightful blend of materals; cobble setts contrasting smooth white porcelain, a stainless edged reflecting pool mirroring the wonky roof of the old stable block. Plantings are on point, with tidy-yet-varied box and weeping willow framing the space, and echinacea and verbena adding colour and interest.
