These features along with modern insulation and double glazing, not only has a low environmental impact, but also holds its warmth, yet still retains character.

With granite counter tops and excellent quality appliances, (including induction hob, ovens, microwave and American fridge freezer) these kitchens are designed to give an ambient flow to the room. enabling the cook in the family to face the social area of the home and be part of the general atmosphere, without feeling isolated when working in the kitchen! • Karndean flooring to the hall and family room areas and tiling to the kitchen and orangery and bathroom areas.
