Norfolk Flint House

A family home in the heart of the Norfolk countryside; extended over time and combining both Georgian and Victorian architecture alongside a sympathetically designed side extension, this house embraces the Norfolk flint exterior wall to create a distinctive spacious kitchen and walk-in pantry. The home of a passionate cook, a downdraft extractor was an essential element of the design, which was incorporated into our Osea Island, centrally placed and ducted for efficiency to the outside. Generously proportioned pan-drawers below and to each side of the hobs, are well positioned for pans, serving dishes and utensils. An oak-topped table is included within the island design, an ideal spot for casual suppers and morning coffee.

A double marble sink sits within the Bianca Eclipsia worktop, the greying tones perfectly complementing the limewashed flint wall behind, punctuated only with a single counter standing cupboard painted in ‘Mouldy Plum’ and accented with tourmaline cup handles and cupboard latches.

In a highly organised fashion, a tall run of our Spitalfields cupboards, hand painted in the same ‘Mouldy Plum’, houses the ovens, warming drawer, integrated fridge and freezer as well as cleverly concealing a television. To the side, a walk-in pantry provides a separate space for coffee making and mixing and serving drinks with pull-out oak trays below for essential snack storage.

The adjacent bootroom welcomes as you enter the rear of the house, with a bench seat for pulling muddy boots on or off and coat pegs above. There is also ample room for dogs and their beds, plentiful cupboard space for coats, pull-out trays for shoes and a cupboard for summer games paraphernalia. A top row of cupboards is accessed by a ladder and rail, perfect for out of season storage.

Thie project offered the opportunity to stay true to some original features in the house while engaging in thoughtful space planning and design execution for the client’s multi-faceted program for the room.
