Loddon Traditional Kitchen

This Georgian property underwent an extensive makeover in order to bring the interior finish in line with the exquisite exterior.

The redesign allowed for the main dining area to be moved to the more desirable location next to the window which allows for the idyllic view of fields to be enjoyed during breakfast, lunch and dinner. As well as this, we were able to install a 4 door, 3 drawer larder area which comprised of a built in tall fridge, double door illuminated pantry with automatic light sensors and an individual tall storage until which makes for the perfect area to conceal appliances such as the microwave and all of those additional cooking gadgets that otherwise would clutter the worktop and surfaces. The Kitchen Includes:

Starting with the kitchen, which was originally laid out in a different design, the project included building works, plumbing, plastering, flooring and more such as:

  • Removing and replacing the ceiling including the joists, a much required maintenance project that the property needed to give it that well deserved tender love and care
  • Relocating the main kitchen area to the other side of the room to better utilise the space, which including the relocation of the main services
  • Alterations to the plumbing and pipework to allow for the new design
  • Creation of the large island area housing both the sink and double drawer dishwasher and also creating the additional seating area which makes for the perfect social setting
  • Underfloor heating (plumbed in wet-system)
  • Flooring installation comprising of porcelain wood effect tiles and natural limestone
  • Installation of traditional plaster coving and double depth skirting
  • Lacanche range cooker on LPG gas (being located in a more rural area can lead to believe that there are limitations on choices such as gas, however LPG utilises gas canisters which allows for unrestricted access to all of the stunning gas range options there are available)
  • Radio entertainment system fitting within the ceiling and complimentary touch screen wifi control system installed in a user friendly location
  • Cast iron radiator
  • Spotlights and designer wall lighting
  • Antique statement mirror

The kitchen itself is from our handmade in-frame range which, being bespoke, allowed the kitchen to be finished in farrow and ball colours and fitted throughout both the kitchen and boot room/utility which also underwent a complete renovation. We chose gold and brushed brass as the accessory finish throughout the project which includes but is not limited to; kitchen door and drawer handles and knobs, USB sockets including under island sockets, filtered tap and light switches.

For the kitchen worktop a natural marble was chosen again with gold accents and was fitted on the island as well as the main surface areas, the pantry shelves, large splashback, floating shelf and window sill. The utility required a softer setting and therefore we opted for natural oak which lends itself well for surfaces and seating areas. The boot room/utility includes: Built in undercounter freezerBuilt in washing machine Built in tumble dryer Coat closet Seating area

As the room acts as an entrance to the property and also leads onto the cloakroom, boiler cupboard and kitchen, we had 4 door areas to consider making it a priority to ensure the design opened up the room and did not make the space look crowded.

Our customer found it essential that the entire project sat well with the age and style of the property so when designing and advising on the cloakroom specification it had to be Burlington (Burlington is a leading and high end traditional bathroom manufacturer which offers a range of traditional bathroom furnishings, at the higher end of the price budget you benefit from fine and stunning details throughout all of their ranges. However, if you want to achieve a traditional look at less of a cost, then there are a wide range of other manufacturers which offer similar styles). Fitting a traditional close coupled toilet and wall hung basin with gold bottle trap and matching taps gave the cloakroom the perfect finish. Adding the vintage wall light and wall mirror along with the floral wallpaper and natural limestone tiles gave the room the timeless aroma that any homeowner would be proud of.

All in all whilst the project involved a high level of planning, consideration and time, it was a renovation well worthwhile which added a sophistication to the property that will be enjoyed for many years to come.

    Very happy with the finished room

    Very pleased with NBK's suggestions and thoughtful design ideas for the creation of an upstairs shower room in our loft conversion. It wasn't the simplest or most straightforward of jobs but was tackled with a "can do/will do" attitude from the very start to completion of the finishing touches. Everyone we dealt with was fantastic and the onsite team a delight to have here. We are very, very happy with the finished room.

    Delighted with our new Kitchen

    We are delighted with our new kitchen from NBK. All the team were helpful, professional and friendly, and the standard of workmanship was very high. A special mention for James, our fitter, who consulted us throughout the installation to make sure we were happy with everything, and came up with lots of useful suggestions. Nothing was too much trouble and it was a pleasure to have him in our home. We would have no hesitation in recommending NBK to others - many thanks for a job well done.

    A pleasure to have in my home.

    I had my kitchen installed over the last two weeks and the whole team especially Mark (the kitchen fitter) where absolutely faultless. They all cleared up after themselves and left me with the most perfect kitchen you could have. The whole team Gareth, in the showroom, Matt the project manager, Jamie, Dan and especially Mark where a pleasure to have in my home. I would highly recommend this company.

    Could not recommend them highly enough

    The planning, detail and consideration that NBK showed over a very large project, has been second to none. We were kept up to date every step of the way, by skilled, thoughtful and helpful craftsmen. At no time did we have any worries that our project was not on track. A special shout out to Gareth, Daniel, Steve, James, Jamie, Sally, Melanie, Geoff & Pete who made this happen for us. We could not recommend them highly enough.

    Highly recommend!

    First-class; highly recommended! We carefully considered many firms in the area before asking NBK to install both a new bathroom and new downstairs cloakroom. Each had their complexities but NBK were extremely professional, very hard-working and always eager to please. We particularly liked the fact that they were able to provide a complete end-to-end comprehensive service and we're delighted with the results. We have no hesitation recommending them to others.

    First Class

    From the initial survey and design meetings through to completion NBK have been excellent. The knowledge and ability of personnel to combine the best items from the huge choice of individual manufacturer ranges has proved to be outstanding. We had three bathrooms completely facelifted in different and yet complimentary styles. It was then a simple and logical step to have NBK to carry on and remodel two of our kitchens. First class materials, workmanship and value for money - perfect.

    An excellent design by Tony

    We were very pleased indeed with the service provided by NBK who installed a new kitchen for us along with new double glazed windows and doors. An excellent design by Tony & impeccable work from Ed the installer. The new kitchen is fabulous and has changed our lives. We were so pleased with Adi's windows & doors that we asked them to install new double glazed windows in the front room and a new front door which again were done to perfection. We would strongly recommend NBK.

    High class work

    We are pleased to offer our glowing testimonial for the work by NBK on the complete renovation of our upstairs bathroom into a shower room. The work undertaken principally by Josh (our fitter) and the design and survey teams were exemplary. Most notable was the quality of the finishes, the supplied materials and the equipment fitted - all top notch. Above all we were very impressed by the care taken to ensure everything was completed on time and to a very high standard. It was a real pleasure to work with Josh and the NBK team.

    Detail was paramount

    Our kitchen has recently been replaced by NBK and from start to finish it was handled with professionalism, positivity and expertise. From the planning and preparation to the end, the detail was paramount in order for us to have the kitchen we wanted. It was not a straightforward job but our fitter, Ashley, handled it superbly, ironing out any difficulties with ease. Each member of Staff we dealt with through the Diss branch was able to deal with any queries and always in a friendly and pleasant way. We would not hesitate to recommend this Company.
