It's not a barn or anything like that, just a small tradition home. I think it's quite old but had a little bit of renovation work inside over the years. Yeah, Canada is the same when it comes to kitchens. They are usually the nicest room in the house and usually a focal point. Most homes are very open concept these days as well.
We definitely still want to visit the UK some day and plan to at some point. I don't know when it will happen but it will one day.
