Kitchen Plan
The couple’s home is a large barn conversion from the 70s near Clitheroe and their old-fashioned kitchen was poorly laid out, had no dining area, and was small in comparison to all the other rooms.
“When we bought the house we always intended to extend and replace the kitchen.” said Jonathan.
“With a young family, we spend a lot of time in the kitchen area and wanted a dining space and sitting area – so we decided to open up the existing rooms and extend to create a more usable space.
“Our old kitchen resembled a room in a caravan. We knew it needed a makeover.”
After adding an extension, the couple commissioned Kitchen Design Centre to create a modern kitchen design to fit in with their family orientated lifestyle.
Are you ready to make your dream kitchen a reality?
The area that used to be the kitchen became a dining and seating area and the new extension became a contemporary open plan kitchen.
Now extremely spacious, the room has light pouring in through the tri-fold patio doors and large windows.
A 4m “island” was constructed for the centre piece of the designer kitchen, creating the perfect preparation area and storage space.
Fitted with the latest cutting-edge technology, the modern kitchen boasts a combination microwave, oven, coffee machine, warming drawers, induction hobs, integrated fridge, freezer and dishwasher and a 100 degrees Quooker hot tap.
Suzanne, designer at Kitchen Design Centre’s Manchester showroom, said: “We helped Victoria and Jonathan tackle all the decisions in a logical order, and eventually end up with their ideal kitchen.
Finished Kitchen
“We went through the plans, and supplied them with 3D images of how the kitchen would look. These images really helped Victoria and Jonathan visualise how the kitchen would be in reality.”
Given plenty of time to consider the options, and with the guiding hand of Suzanne, the couple now have their dream designer kitchen installed.
“We love our new kitchen,” said Jonathan. “My advice is to find a designer and fitter that you really get on with.
“Planning and fitting a designer kitchen is a long process and there is a lot to consider – so you need someone you trust to give you the best advice.”

AS SEEN ON GEORGE CLARKE’S BEAUTIFUL BUILDS: FROM DATED LAYOUT TO DREAM ENTERTAINING SPACE
When Katherine and Andrew purchased their property, they always knew a full renovation would follow.
With both the outdated kitchen and untouched garden requiring significant transformation, the project soon became part of Channel 4’s George Clarke’s Beautiful Builds – it was an opportunity they felt perfectly aligned with their vision for the property.
While searching for a local kitchen specialist, Kitchen Design Centre immediately stood out thanks to its long-standing reputation, glowing customer reviews and welcoming showroom experience.
The brief focused on creating a sleek, contemporary kitchen that would feel open, social and highly functional, while complementing the wider architectural renovation of the home.
The finished design delivers a beautifully balanced space that combines clean lines with luxurious detailing.
One of the standout features is the striking worktop design. The waterfall edge peninsula creates a bold focal point within the room, while the continuation of the material across the side panels introduces a seamless, premium aesthetic.
Functionality was equally important throughout the design process, with carefully considered storage solutions and high-quality appliances helping to simplify everyday living. Among Katherine and Andrew’s favourite additions is the Neff oven, praised for both its versatility and pyrolytic self-cleaning function.
The completed result is a sophisticated contemporary space that completely transforms how the home looks, feels, and functions, perfectly reflecting Katherine and Andrew’s original vision from the moment they moved in.
