Bespoke Cottage Kitchen & Pantry

HAMPSHIRE

This pretty cottage situated in a valley not far from Andover, underwent a major refurbishment. We were asked to design three back of house spaces, each with their own specific function, but that worked seamlessly together.

The utility space was extended with the addition of a larger back door, and double doors which opened into the kitchen. The scullery space leading from the kitchen links to a well organised walk-in pantry.

Designing a kitchen for a traditional cottage can present challenges; low ceilings, wonky walls and a smaller footprint all have to be considered.

With this project our client wanted a walk-in pantry to store provisions, easily accessible from the kitchen, but still retain a large laundry area, plus storage for small kitchen appliances.

By introducing glazed internal doors, we optimised natural light throughout the spaces. Using a muted natural pallet throughout also enhances the use of natural light and creates a calm aesthetic to all the back of house rooms.

FEATURES

Banks of drawers

Beautifully proportioned drawers have been used throughout each of the rooms, while Joseph Giles Antique brass waxed handles look very effective against the pale cabinetry.

Caeserstone Frosty Carrina worktop is both incredibly durable and enhances the neutral colour pallet throughout the rooms.

The dark colour of the Everhot 120i range cooker forms a central focus to the design, and marries beautifully with the dark painted kitchen island and dark green cabinetry in the walk-in pantry.
