Striking black painted Shaker kitchen with gold/brass handles and fittings – Classic shaker cabinets with brass hinges, solid shaker skirting to range cooker run and recessed plinth on the island – An Induction range cooker (superfast cooking and so easy to clean) framed by the towering classic Shaker mantle (its all the way up to that high vaulted ceiling) with hidden cupboards left and right – powerful dominant black painted furniture with white quartz worktops – note “no wall cupboards” just two big wide bi-fold dressers hiding all the small appliances, clients microwave and crockery/plates cups saucers etc. Endless pan drawers again next to the range for ease of use, notice the big larder cupboard for all dry food storage next to the two huge fridge and freezer cabinets. The big feature here is the large island with double Belfast sink on, and gold/brass monobloc tap. The end of the island has a feature farmhouse oak slatted table base on top of which is a massive 1200 X 600mm professional end grain chopping block – just what you'd see in a high-end butchers shop – perfect for chopping meat/fish, preparing vegetables etc. will last years. Note the breakfast bar position on the outside of the island away from the busy cooking area but close enough for guests to chat while cooking.
