PROJECT DETAILS

The Walton Barn project has undergone a large scale renovation which included extending the main kitchen area. The brief from the clients was very clear – they wanted a classic contemporary kitchen with dining space for 5-6. The clients didn’t like the idea of having a formal dining table in the kitchen as they have a separate dining room they wanted to utilise so designing an L-shape kitchen with an island incorporating banquette seating and therefore dining space was the perfect solution for the space.

The Spenlow cabinetry is a contemporary take on the traditional raised and fielded door panel and gives the kitchen a smart feel thanks to the clean lines of this design. The painted cabinetry is finished in HM Farthing II – a bespoke colour to HM manufactured exclusively by Mylands. The Quilps knobs are finished in weathered bronze. The accent wood in this kitchen is the Portobello dark oak and is used within the cabinetry interiors, the tambour door which conceals the toaster / breakfast area, integrated trays either side of the coffee machine machine and the Langham table and Havisham chairs.

Cooking Run

As an entertaining space, this kitchen has it all – the 1524mm Wolf dual fuel range cooker has two large ovens and as well as 6 stacked, sealed gas burners, it has a chargrill and teppanyaki on the top. The Wolf is housed within a false chimney which has bespoke HM Westin extraction incorporated and a contemporary overmantel. Either side of the range cooker are three drawer chests and then either side of the chimney are countertop cupboards with cupboards below. The large Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer provide plenty of cool storage for chilled and frozen goods.

Island

The island acts as the main prep area and has a prep sink with a pull out Eurocargo bin just below to the right hand side. The main washing up area is located underneath the window with views across the rolling countryside. Along with the large Kohler smart divide sink there is a Zip hot water / chilled / boiling tap as well as the main Athenian tap with rinse providing the usual hot and cold water.

Food Storage

On the other side of the island closest to the bi-fold doors is what looks like a bank of two sets of three drawer chests. Actually, one of these is a Fisher & Paykel cool drawer which can be switched from refrigerator to freezer, to wine storage, providing maximum flexibility throughout the year. During the summer months it can be stocked with cold drinks to serve the outdoor area beyond the bi-fold doors, while in the winter it can be switched to freezer mode for storing frozen fruits picked during the autumn.

Drinks Area

To the right of the sink run is the fully automatic Gaggenau espresso machine which features a continuous flow heater meaning no waiting time and a constant brewing temperature. Either side of the espresso machine are integrated trays finished in portobello oak, with glazed cabinetry above offering storage for servingware, tea, coffee beans, sugar etc. Below the coffee machine is a second Fisher & Paykel cool drawer which is used for storing the different milks and cool items to serve the drinks area.

Banquette

The banquette seating area has an upholstered cushion finished in a custom leather, with the same leather used on the Havisham chairs. Both the chairs and the Langham table were designed and manufactured by Humphrey Munson and are finished in the Portobello dark oak finish.

Utility Room

This utility room is finished in HM paint colour Farthing (an exclusive paint to Humphrey Munson by Mylands) and has a run of tall cabinetry on both sides to maximise space. The left side conceals three large cupboards which provide an abundance of storage for laundry etc whilst opposite on the right side is a Miele washing machine and tumble dryer and surrounded by cabinetry. At the far end of the utility is worktop space and beneath the counter, three dog beds – the perfect place for tired dogs to rest after a long walk.

Boot Room

The boot room in this project is finished in HM paint colour Farthing II to maintain continuity with the main kitchen. This small but mighty area has a large butler sink and aged brass tap that’s ideal for rinsing really muddy items of clothing or dirty hands from time spent gardening in the warm weather.

Walton Barn Project

The painted Spenlow cabinetry in this kitchen is finished in HM ‘Farthing II’ – a bespoke colour to HM manufactured exclusively by Mylands. The Quilps knobs are finished in weathered bronze. To the far left of the space is a large Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer provide plenty of cool storage for chilled and frozen foods. Along from the Sub-Zero is the cooking run which features the mighty Wolf range cooker. The island which sits opposite the cooking run offers an abundance of food prep space as well as banquette seating. On the far side of the kitchen is the scullery run and drinks prep area with a Gaggenau coffee machine.

Banquette seating with an upholstered cushion finished in a custom leather, with the same leather used on the Havisham chairs. Both the chairs and the Langham table were designed and manufactured by Humphrey Munson and are finished in the Portobello dark oak finish to match the rest of the kitchen.

Along from the scullery run is a fully automatic Gaggenau espresso machine with integrated trays either side finished in portobello oak. Glazed cabinetry is above offering storage for servingware, tea, coffee beans, sugar etc. Below the coffee machine is a second Fisher & Paykel cool drawer which is used for storing the different milks and cool items to serve the drinks area.

This countertop cupboard with bi-fold doors opens to reveal shelving and a small worktop space below that’s ideal for food prep or small appliance storage. A tambour door finished in Portobello oak to the right of the countertop cupboard opens to reveal more storage – in this case it’s perfect for a Dualit toaster and can be left open when in use or shut away out of sight when guests arrive.

The island in this kitchen acts as the main prep area and has a prep sink with a pull out Eurocargo bin just below to the right hand side. The Wolf is housed within a false chimney which has bespoke HM Westin extraction incorporated and a contemporary overmantel.

Designed for busy family life and entertaining alike, this kitchen has it all – the 1524mm Wolf dual fuel range cooker has two large ovens and as well as 6 stacked, sealed gas burners, it has a chargrill and teppanyaki on the top. The Wolf is housed within a false chimney which has bespoke HM Westin extraction concealed inside.

The scullery run for this space is located underneath the window with views across the rolling countryside. It features a large Kohler smart divide sink, a Zip hot water, chilled and boiling tap as well as the main Athenian tap with rinse providing regular hot and cold water.

Integrated into the island this Fisher & Paykel CoolDrawer is simply perfect for busy kitchen life. With five refrigeration modes to choose from you can keep it stocked with drinks for a weekend barbecue or use it as additional fridge storage.

This island at the Walton barn project, designed and manufactured by Humphrey Munson, incorporates a banquette seating area giving this kitchen a sociable feel with guests able to gather for a pre-dinner drink or for low key family meals. The main dining room is just off the kitchen but the family still needed and informal place for meals.

The banquette seating area in this project has been upholstered with the same leather as the chairs for continuity. The Langham table which is also manufactured by Humphrey Munson has the same Portobello Oak finish.

Clever zoning of the space ensures that the cook is able to finish dinner on the working side of the kitchen and serve drinks to guests from an integrated Fisher & Paykel cool drawer, while guests relax on the sharing / dining side at the banquette.

The utility and boot rooms are located just off the main kitchen and offers the ideal combination of spaces for laundry, storage and a place for tired dogs to rest at the end of a long day.

A drying rack made in Portobello oak that’s perfect for drying smaller more delicate items that may not be able to go in the tumble dryer. When not in use it can be shut away.

This boot room is space finished in HM paint colour ‘Farthing II’ (the same colour as the nearby kitchen). This small but mighty area has a large butler sink that’s ideal for rinsing really muddy items of clothing or dirty hands from time spent gardening in the warm weather.
