Oast houses converted to homes, typically have conical shaped kilns that dried hops.ย

Jenny & David bought a derelict Oast House, but theirs had square kilns. They had to start from scratch to make it a home, b/c they were, well, kilns. For hops. Not people. But, itโ€™s beautiful.

image

Their home also has gorgeous antiques, like this old punch clock, which may have been for the oast workers.

They chose a lovely soft turquoise for the living room. The wood horse is a Mongolian pony that came from Afghanistan.ย 

image

And, the kitchen is a cozy cottage green.ย 

image

They chose a modern stair style. Thatโ€™s a fully functional jukebox underneath.ย 

image

The effort to keep all the original levels of the oast intact, as much as possible, resulted in half a dozen different staircases!

image

In the bathroom is an antique hop weighing scale.

image

Connecting the spaces to make the oast a home, has also resulted in many twists and turns.

image

In this hall is an antique hops press, vintage farm tools, and a showcase of old fashioned childrenโ€™s games and toys.

image

Guest room with a cozy sleeping nook.

image

A door that looks like a closet, opens to reveal a small bath in the guest room.ย 

image

The bed in the master is suspended from the ceiling, but itโ€™s not very far to fall.

Finally, a spiral staircase leads to an apt. that the couple used to rent out. Isnโ€™t this a fascinating home?
