The Old Mill: Award Winning Kitchen Design and Renovation

This kitchen is found within a 200-year-old renovated Mill building and offers a mix of our bespoke kitchen ranges, with our Mill Range shaker style units, painted on-site in Farrow & Ball's Drop Cloth alongside our Edwardian oak handmade cabinetry completed in a white limed finish.

We selected Cosentino Sensa Vancouver Granite for the worktop, splashback and window surrounds within the Old Mill's kitchen to provide the stone with a real presence in the room. Its warm, soft tones aid in balancing out the room against the darker exposed walls. We designed the island worktop especially to have the large metal pillar emerge through the worktop without the need for any untidy joins on the surface. Island lights were introduced from Original BTC with the addition of further chains to fulfil a more industrial look.

A Wolf Dual Fuel Range and Subzero French Door Refrigerator are centrepieces of any kitchen area, and we made sure to specify and include them within this special renovation.

The extractor hood was made bespoke by our talented joiners to house a Westin extractor hood and was hand-painted to create an antiqued effect. To continue with the antique trend elsewhere, a Samuel Heath brass tap looks over an 1810 Company brass sink. Within the drink station pantry unit, a boiling tap from Quooker in Patinated Brass pairs with another 1810 Company brass sink. The furniture handles were procured from Corston and we cannot wait to see them age beautifully over time!

The arched ceiling above the kitchen wasn't originally planned for and evolved during the fitting process. This addition highlights our designers' belief that design should remain alive throughout the project… if you can add something to enhance the room, we should be brave and embrace it.

The beautiful, historic stone walls around the dining area had to be stripped of aged crackling paint to be repointed in limestone to future-proof the stone. Our in-house master artist replastered and aged the stone to look as though it had never been touched. He then stunningly recreated the same finish on the brickwork seen behind the tall fireplace.
