Castle '25
A delicate blend of classical revival and modern hardware, this oak and white kitchen is complete with a hidden pantry and a statement island. With brushed brass embellishments and ornate period detailing, master craftsmanship delivers a space fit for royalty.
Natural oak cabinetry is expressed through inframe shaker styling, enriched with soft-close doors, dovetail drawers and ogee skirting plinths. The character oak is elevated by gold-hued highlights throughout: brushed satin brass handles from Crofts & Assinder, a twin-lever Old English brass tap from Bidbury & Co, and the gilded fleurs-de-lis that grace the AGA range’s back guard. Crowning the base units, Calcatta Glow quartz delivers a polished milky white surface with delicate black and gold veining.
The cooking area is framed by a bespoke handmade hood and sweeping curved tall units with discreet spice pullouts, while opposite, the island holds a traditional ceramic Belfast double sink. A concealed cabinet doorway leads into the walk-in pantry and scullery, housing an additional ceramic sink set underneath a 40mm solid oak worktop, alongside a full-height Liebherr Fridge/Freezer and eye-level Neff oven and combi oven. This hidden space also features a floor-to-ceiling wine rack, wicker basket pullouts, and a custom bench seat for practicality and charm.
At the centre, the custom island distinguishes the kitchen as one of a kind. An antique unit is seamlessly scribed into the cabinetry, complete with slatted shelving for wicker baskets on one side, while the other extends into a seating area supported by a carved solid wood pedestal beneath a 60mm quartz worktop with a double ogee profile. Further details—tongue-and-groove panelling, fluted pilasters, carved ball-and-claw feet, and animal motif onlays—enrich the piece with heritage artistry.
The finished kitchen strikes a perfect balance between historic character and contemporary function. Every element is bespoke, every detail considered; the result is a timeless, luxurious interior designed and crafted to reign for generations to come.
