By removing the conservatory and building a wrap around extension designed in a traditional appearance to match the house, an open plan kitchen space was created. Helped by a few steel beams, bifold doors and roof lantern, the space is bathed in light despite facing north. Its a lovely space also connecting an adjoining dining room.

The real success is the creation of a sociable hub for the whole family and their friends. The island's bar stools and connected soft seating accommodate all comfortably.
