The hinges and wood surfaces(edges and surrounds) need some attention! hinges rusty, wood fading! Any suggestion for cleaning and varnishing would be greatly appreciated!

Don't varnish the panelling, its hot-pressed wood-effect vinyl onto thin ply.smile!
The only 'wood' is the edging, try wire wool & then it can be varnished or oiled. 
As for the hinges, difficult to clean up rust, so I'd replace with similar brass-plated ones.

I cleaned my brass hinges  on the sink worktop, very carefully with a brillo pad, came up like new I then polished with a silicon surface clean/polish, did it just the once and they still look good.

The wood edges, I used Danish Oil
