Timeless Craftsmanship, Contemporary Living

Key Design Features A beautifully designed sociable area, hidden behind reeded glass pocket doors. When closed, the soft lighting elegantly illuminates the textured glass, subtly hinting at the full entertaining space hidden behind. Open the doors to reveal bespoke solid oak wine storage. A thoughtful collaboration, designed in collaboration with our client and crafted by our workshop team. A bar well suited alongside custom oak wine racking, an integrated chiller, and glassware shelving. Perfect for entertaining. Tall cabinetry in this kitchen conceals a wealth of clever functionality, designed to elevate everyday living while maintaining a calm, elegant aesthetic. Behind the central doors lies a hidden back kitchen — complete with larder storage and additional prep space — all accessed via pocket door systems that glide smoothly out of sight. Reeded glass details add subtle texture and depth, while bespoke shelving and integrated lighting enhance both form and function throughout the space. One of the standout features is the hideaway breakfast and coffee station, thoughtfully positioned beside the instant boiling water Quooker tap. Discreet doors reveal a full breakfast larder pantry, with dedicated space for the toaster, coffee machine, mugs, and daily essentials. It’s a serene retreat for the morning routine — and when entertaining, everything tucks neatly away, keeping surfaces clear and the atmosphere composed. When fully closed, the dividing wall of cabinetry preserves the kitchen’s refined tone while offering ultimate convenience. It’s a seamless blend of practicality and modest luxury — a quiet triumph of design that balances beauty with everyday ease. The elegance of the front kitchen’s open plan is beautifully balanced by a discreet and highly functional back area, thoughtfully dedicated as a hosting prep room designed to efficiently manage everyday tasks and garden utility work behind the scenes. This back kitchen is accessible through hinged tuck-away glazed doors, which allow natural light to flood in even when closed, providing a tasteful glimpse behind the scenes beyond. This design allows for the freedom to focus on function without the need for perfect neatness at all times, a hidden blessing particularly during an evening’s party. The oven and sink run brings together everyday practicality and design precision, featuring an invisible integrated dishwasher, an undermount sink with recessed draining grooves cut directly into the granite for a seamless, flush aesthetic. The island is a showcase demonstration of Ashgrove’s craftsmanship, blending the classic elegance of Shaker design, a style renowned for its traditional, minimalist aesthetic, with a contemporary handleless rail. The fusing of our bespoke solid oak rail handle, a thoughtfully crafted accent that replaces the metal rail typically seen. This solid oak texture brings tactile warmth and visual contrast, perfectly marrying the timeless simplicity of Shaker cabinetry with modern practicality. The wrap-around panel corner design ensures seamless continuity, while the surrounding bright, sociable space highlights this elegant interplay of tradition and contemporary innovation. The formal hallway is transformed into an inviting entrance leading to the showpiece kitchen extension. Creating memorable moments with the bespoke bench seat, a lovely perching spot for the family to sit comfortably, taking off their wellies after an enjoyable adventure. The bench matching in continuous style, practical storage drawers below for added convenience. Opposite, the floor-to-ceiling wardrobe cabinetry house ample client tailored storage for winter wear. Coats, footwear and headdress all have a stylish and functional home. Together, these elements create a welcoming, well arrange environment that balances comfort, style, and everyday practicality.
