GUIDE PRICE: Kitchen £40K+
Our clients added a spacious new extension across the whole of the back of this Victorian semi detached house for their new family kitchen, dining, living room. Keeping the space open between the original house and the new extension on one side kept the existing snug filled with light and gave them a sheltered internal courtyard garden with glazed doors on three sides. Widening the old hall through into the new extension still allowed enough space for a utility room and feature, walk in pantry but also gave a real sense of drama when entering the new space. Moving the kitchen into the heart of the new family room meant the family can all be together when cooking, eating and relaxing. Adding in a feature window to the side of the house increased the light in the kitchen but extending the depth of the worktop in front meant a vented induction hob could be fitted with the glazed window acting as a splashback, whilst still giving views over the side garden filled with potted olive trees. Shaker style doors with a cock bead detail and a Belfast sink added a more traditional feel to the furniture whilst the black Quooker hot tap and metal glazed doors to both the walk-in oak pantry and utility room next door bring a more contemporary industrial edge to the scheme. The pantry features lots of open shelving for maximum food and crockery storage and an oak countertop gives space for small electrical appliances, serving as a mini kitchen when preparing toast and snacks. Side by side matching integrated fridge freezers (one hiding a supporting pier) gives huge fresh and frozen food storage whilst a single tall storage unit alongside the oven housing is the perfect place for day to day dishes and glasses. Three sets of pan drawers with solid oak dovetailed drawers beneath the hob run give plenty of space for pots, pans and baking dishes whilst the island is a designated wet area with dishwasher, undermount sink and integrated bins and further storage.
