As the kitchen was part of a large extension, it allowed us to carefully plan the space from scratch. The sheer scale of the room commanded a grand, imposing kitchen. It was our priority to ensure this was what was achieved. Like most renovations at the time,


there were unavoidable delays to the barn extension due to the pandemic, which inevitably impacted the kitchen install date.


The building work was of a high standard throughout the renovation,


which undoubtedly helped with the installation. The true craftsmanship is shown in the scribing of the cabinet end panels to the original stone walls, matching the profile perfectly. Fitting in the utility space is always


more of a challenge due to the lack of space, however, once these hurdles were overcome, we knew it was worth it, especially when ‘wow’ moments are created. The design of the disguised doors and bespoke wine rack was certainly one of those.
