Featured Project
Located on the cusp of Epping Forest in Theydon Bois, this incredible property has been subject to an extensive renovation lasting over two years and completely transforming the space into a classic contemporary family home. The homeowners wanted a space that was family-orientated but also suitable for entertaining friends and family at weekends.

The contemporary clean lines of the Spenlow kitchen suit this space perfectly especially with the soft grey colour palette of our own HM paint colour Tailored Grey and the muted tone of the Smithfield oak finish used on the island and dining area cabinetry. The use of the Smithfield oak finish was particularly appropriate given the property is situated on the fringe of Epping Forest and really fits in with the idea of bringing the outdoors in and creating a relaxed and welcoming space.
With a large Spenlow island and a huge false chimney surround for the iconic 1219mm Wolf range cooker, there is plenty of space for food prep on the island where the prep sink and Quooker hot tap are located along with an integrated dishwasher and pull out integrated bin handily positioned either side.
To the left of the cooking run is the large Sub-Zero fridge freezer while to the right is the day pantry which is used for storing all the dry goods and ingredients. Locating the main fridge freezer and pantry either side of the chimney means that everything is easily to hand – no mean feat in such a large space.
The clients wanted the space to have a relaxed and welcoming feel so designating the island for food prep means they can cook and chat to family and friends at the same time. The island has seating for the children to have meals during the day and a spot to serve pre-dinner drinks in the evening.
The main sink run is on the far side with a large deerfield sink by Kohler and second dishwasher and another integrated pull out bin. This area is neatly tucked just around the corner from the dining area and means tableware and glassware can be easily cleared away after meals and out of sight.
The kitchen dining area is framed by the bespoke Spenlow cabinetry finished in Smithfield oak with double doors leading out to the utility room and boot room which are nearby but hidden from view from the main kitchen. A large Smithfield pantry cupboard is used for storing additional tableware but could also be utilised as a breakfast pantry, while the two Sub-Zero wine preservation units provide ample storage for wine and champagne.
