The Rear House contains the Kitchen, Dining Room and Shower Room. The opening made in the wall plus taking the former door down increased the connection between the two rooms. Unlike 'open plan' this solution allows each room to keep its functional character, look and feel. In the Dining Room the fireplace was reopened to house an Aga wood burner. A tile pattern design was added to frame the fireplace. It combines Victorian period tiles with ceramic mouldings from Fired Earth's National Trust range and is topped with an Egg & Dart fibrous plaster moulding. Heat is also provided in the kitchen by UFH. A combination of original period furniture and newly crafted look alike-furniture insure aesthetical continuity.
