A kitchen with tall cabinets containing a bank of wall mounted integrated appliances are positioned adjacent to the cooking and prep areas. A central breakfast island and home office, with an adjoining utility completing the design.
The kitchen design uses a careful mix of oak panelled shaker doors with those painted in a Farrow and Ball white, all set within matching oak or painted frames. This combination of oak and painted helps both define areas within the kitchen and visually reduce the depth of a long space running the full house depth and into an orangery extension.
A stylish split level island, with one end granite topped and with curved drawers below faces the cooking and preparation areas, while the other is higher level with a solid oak top for the family breakfast bar. Reflective plinths on the island reflecting the stone floor give a freestanding look of more space, while the breakfast bar central leg support doubles as tray storage.
Beautiful and cool Indian Pearl granite worktops are used throughout the kitchen and are fitted into the window recesses. A bank of Miele appliances, including warming drawers, coffee machine and combi-ovens, as well as an induction hob, make food preparation as easy as possible. Behind the hob and under a Miele extractor, a Silestone marble splashback has been fitted to create an easy to maintain finish.
The kitchen also has a desk dresser design housing a workstation creating a discreet home office for household administration. The adjoining utility uses the same cabinet and shaker door design as the main kitchen only with a simplification in that the doors are not set within frames. The Orangery extension houses the family dining area where an eight seat Treske Rievalux table in oak was chosen to compliment the kitchen.
Appliances include:
• MIELE integrated combi ovens, warming drawers
• MIELE integrated coffe machine
• MIELE induction hob & extractor
• Quooker boiling water tap
