Times and fashions have changed somewhat since then, but Station Farm is as stylish today as ever, with multiple sash windows and window shutters, ornate ceiling roses and paneled archtraves on the doors and windows. It has many excellent features of the time. Doors with original door furniture, wall paneling, an antique fireplace, original cupboards and a paneled staircase with polished handrails add to its charm.
Reclaimed solid mahogany floors were laid, and where missing original features, such as fanlights, were replaced by faithful reproductions by skilled craftsmen.
Double doors at the grand entrance of the house lead to an impressive hall with parquet flooring.
The remainder of the ground floor accommodation is located off the hall. There is a two-sided living room with oak floors and a Victorian open grate fireplace with marble surround.
