PROJECT DETAILS
A Georgian country house reimagined, redesigned and reinvigorated for the young family taking up residence in this historic family home in the beautiful Leicestershire countryside.

This open plan space required significant architectural input from Alex McIntyre Architects who provided a comprehensive architectural service from inception to completion and the end result is just absolutely spot on. Light, airy and spacious but with a welcoming feel, this open plan kitchen, dining and sitting room benefits from a wealth of natural light and generous proportions.

Kitchen
The kitchen has an understated classic focal point with the AGA positioned in the original chimney. The island was deliberately left clear so that the clients could have plenty of space to prepare food on a big scale! Frequently used to entertaining numerous weekend guests, this is a hard-working kitchen that needed lots of room for food prep and cooking, but also clearing away. The scullery run has a large double cast iron sink with an open glass storage wall cabinet designed with hanging space below used for glassware that does not go into the dishwasher.

In terms of food storage, the large French door fridge freezer is integrated behind cabinetry and positioned next to a butler’s pantry cupboard so that it feels more like a piece of freestanding furniture.

Pantry
A walk in pantry with another fridge freezer and masses of space for food storage provides the essential overflow needed for entertaining on a big scale.

Boot Room
A separate boot room with hand-painted Nickleby cabinetry finished in the aptly named paint colour H|M Grouse, provides a handy spot to decamp after being outdoors with a large butler sink positioned under the window. This is an original butler sink from the older part of the house and cleaned up and reused here as a nod to the heritage of the house.

The clients wanted open storage for coats and boots so we designed the bench so that wellies can fit underneath. Everything is easy to reach but we also incorporated a bank of tall cupboards to provide further storage. Integrated dog beds provide an area for tired pups to crash out after being out in the field all day.
