Business Details
Handcrafted Bespoke Kitchens & Furniture in Northamptonshire
Established in a converted barn in rural Northamptonshire, we have dedicated over 15 years to crafting bespoke kitchens and furniture that combine functionality with enduring quality. Our process begins with a personal consultation at your home, where we listen to your ideas and assess your space. Using sustainably sourced solid wood and traditional woodworking techniques, we design and build kitchens tailored to your specific requirements, from small spaces to larger period homes. Our commitment to craftsmanship extends to free-standing furniture, including dressers, cupboards, and tables, each made to measure for a unique finish. We offer a comprehensive service from initial design to installation, with project management support and collaboration with trusted local tradespeople when needed. Sustainability is central to our practice, with reclaimed timber repurposed from old buildings to create naturally aged pieces that avoid the shrinkage and warping of new wood.Our hand-painted kitchens feature four coats of eggshell paint for a durable, easy-to-maintain finish, while natural oil treatments enhance the wood's grain. Quality details such as mortice and tenoned fascias, brass hinges, and dovetailed drawer fronts reflect our dedication to traditional methods. We prioritise client collaboration, ensuring every design adapts to awkward spaces or structural challenges while maintaining aesthetic appeal. With kitchens completed in as little as seven weeks, we balance efficiency with meticulous attention to detail, offering transparent pricing from 8,000 to 50,000 based on size and specifications. Our workshop remains open Monday to Friday, with Saturday appointments available, providing a welcoming environment for clients to discuss their projects in person.
