Welcome to Lisa’s Farmhouse Kitchen Blog
Join me as I recount the incredible journey of renovating our magnificent Grade II Listed 500+ year-old farmhouse. After standing abandoned for around 37 years, we took on the challenge to repair this amazing house, one bit at a time. We’ve been here since 2018 and are probably about half way towards completion! Find out more about the challenges of owning and renovating a listed building and more about the heritage and character of our home. We love it here! I’ll also be sharing some of my favourite recipes that celebrate the essence of farmhouse cooking.

This is what our kitchen looked like when we first got here. A bit grim. That quaint range had been in use until a few years ago, apparently. Jimmy the farmer would come in to the otherwise empty house and sit by it. We asked his nephew if it could be repaired. He said flames used to to come out of somewhere they shouldn’t, so no.
