Sort out your timings on the Google listing as it says open 9-5 on Saturday. We came here 9.45 and the shop was closed. Disappointing.

Eclectic range of lighting, knick knacks and furniture. Good for gifts too e.g. independently made candles, signs, decorations. A Farrow and Ball paint stockist, with all sample colours, but you may need to order certain colours / finishes in. I believe they also (mainly?) do a kitchen design service.
