Take a tour around a classic country kitchen

This traditional country kitchen was designed to complement the old cottage that it's in. The wide serving hatch with shutters opens onto a breakfast bar for family and friends to enjoy time together in the conservatory.

4/9 Rural kitchen with Belfast sink

The addition of a ceramic Belfast double sink brings the traditional element to the kitchen that the owner wanted. It is set in front of the original deep windowsill to make a feature of it.

Honed-slate worktops tie in with the black range cooker and matching hood, and look striking against the traditional kitchen's cream-painted units.

7/9 Country kitchen with lowered unit

A dropped-down unit in the country kitchen was included to make it easy for children to help with the baking.

8/9 Kitchen with utility room

One of the owner's must-haves was a separate utility room for doing washing. The ceiling-mounted clothes airer and a clean-clothes drawer for each person makes everyday tasks easier.
