CASE STUDY & TESTIMONIAL

CONTEMPORARY STYLE KITCHEN

Stunning Views in Budleigh

Colin & Debbie

Colin & Debbie live in the beautiful town of Budleigh Salterton. They had a great job to do in rebuilding their three bedroom flat. They were advised to have a look at Ashgrove in being able to provide a full service project for the sort of change that was needed in the property. The flat was 40 years old when we they bought it so everything had to be done. They knew Ashgrove was capable of bespoke kitchens but they needed a whole renovation and they weren't disappointed - what a fantastic end result.

What We Did

The project involved opening up the kitchen, dining, and living areas, along with a full renovation of all three bedrooms, the bathroom, and the shower room. Originally, the flat had a separate kitchen, but a non-structural wall was removed to create a spacious open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area. The kitchen features sleek, contemporary high-gloss cabinetry in Horizon White, complemented by a matching Gola rail. Debbie took the lead on key design choices, selecting the work surfaces, splashbacks, and high-gloss white cabinets. Budleigh is renowned for its striking red sandstone cliffs, and—perhaps unknowingly—the couple chose work surface tones that beautifully reflect the area’s natural aesthetics. Debbie had always envisioned an island, so a custom design was created, featuring a worktop with rounded corners to seamlessly blend with the room’s style. The worktop is made from Neolith, a revolutionary sintered stone composed of natural materials, similar to quartz, and renowned for its durability. Key features include a stunning central island with a breakfast bar, under-cabinet lighting, and a pull-out pantry. The kitchen is equipped with high-end appliances, including a double oven, combi microwave, induction hob, and a Minerva boiling tap for instant hot water. In the living area, a built-in fireplace was added, complemented by stylish shelving and soft, ambient lighting. The master bedroom underwent thoughtful modifications, with one wardrobe reduced in size and another custom-built. The new wardrobe features a sleek, three-door sliding design with a mirrored finish. The bathrooms were upgraded with built-in furniture, and the walls were designed to coordinate seamlessly with the splashbacks. Throughout the home, all doors, ceilings, and walls were completely renewed, ensuring a fresh, modern finish.

Lasting Thoughts

"The experience we have had with Ashgrove has been nothing but good. In fact, Debbie would say excellent and I would agree with her. We worked with Ashgrove exceedingly well. Peter's design and the team who worked with him have done a fantastic job. They provided advice to us – we changed details in talking to the guys and that did make a difference to us – we felt that they were responding to our needs and also in which the way Peter managed the team - it was an excellent overall program."

When I was referred to Ashgrove it was refreshing to hear that they were a local firm within Devon with local builders and for the most part all their stock on site. I wasn’t just going for something standard like a shaker kitchen in beautiful sage green but we got there and I am really, really happy with it. I haven’t met anybody yet that has walked into it and not really loved the way it has all fitted together.
