Fully glazing the gable end of the room allowed for the
beautiful sea view to become a focal point of the room,
while sealing one of the original barn doors created the
perfect L-shaped corner for the kitchen. Additionally, this
meant that the room was easily accessible from where the
barn joins the main house.
"Opting for Davonport’s Tillingham
shaker-style furniture, the homeowners wanted
to ensure the original Aga from the cottage was
incorporated into the new design."

In a room with a ceiling over 4 meters high, getting the
proportions of the furniture right was essential. 3D renders
of the room allowed greater understanding with regards
to how much each element needed to be increased in
height.
Maintaining original features, such as the timber door
from the gable, helped add character and charm to the
new kitchen. In addition, the original Aga continued the
traditional theme throughout the kitchen and is a perfect
reminder of the original barn.
From a practical perspective, the large pantry is the true
statement piece in the room. With bi-fold doors that reveal
a stunning mirrored backdrop that reflects the fully-glazed
gable opposite. The pantry is the ultimate storage solution
with space for storing dried food goods, concealing a toaster,
and phone charging point.
The final result is a breathtaking kitchen of staggering
proportions. Large shaker-style cabinets surround a stunning
island that features a white fantasy granite top and internal
oak drawers. A pollarded burr oak bar and burnished
brass accessories are a nod to the original building while
everything is brought together with a classic colour palette
of handpainted navy and grey creating a gorgeous coastal
theme.
