Kitchen Plan
Now unrecognisable from its original appearance, radical alterations to the three bedroom semi in Oldham have resulted in a spacious and practical modern kitchen.
It was time for the couple to modify the 20-year-old room into a more modern design.
With broken appliances and little space to work in the kitchen, they decided to visit various showrooms across the Manchester area to find a design which best suited their taste.
“We tried several companies but eventually chose Kitchen Design Centre – for several reasons.” said Mary. “They really seemed to care about our home and what would work best for our lifestyle.

“Both the designer and the fitter were fantastic – attentive to our ideas and very helpful and innovative in coming up with practical solutions to save space.”
The chosen kitchen was part of Kitchen Design Centre’s brand new German range – in pebble grey.
Suzanne, designer at Kitchen Design Centre said: “I designed the kitchen in a U-shaped, primarily so I could save space and fit in all the latest appliances.
“Although the size of the room was limited, I used several space saving techniques to transform it into a spacious room with lots of extra storage.”
In order to save space, Suzanne came up with several design ideas to utilise the space.
Finished Kitchen
One example of this is the wine rack under the stairs – designed to fit perfectly alongside a slanted wall.
Corian was chosen for the worktops, rather than Granite, because the material is easy to clean and durable.
As with all modern kitchens from Kitchen Design Centre, the kitchen feels bright and airy with new windows, lighting and an all-new modern feel.
Fitted with the latest cutting-edge technology, the modern German-style kitchen boasts a combination microwave, oven, warming drawers, induction hobs, integrated fridge, freezer and dishwasher.
Suzanne said: “It was a fairly straight-forward design. Space saving was the key to this design – as well as and working alongside Mary and Edward to meet their expectations.
“We discussed what they wanted and I went through several ideas with them until they were both happy. Showing the couple 3D images meant they could visualise how the kitchen would look in reality and could make decisions based on that.”
With Suzanne’s help, Mary and Edward have a practical, space-saving designer kitchen installed.
“I can’t praise them enough,” said Mary. “They are such a joy to work with and I love my new kitchen.
“One element that really impressed me was the way Suzanne took my height into consideration. All storage and appliances are designed so they are at my level – so I rarely have to bend down.
“They completely exceeded my expectations and would recommend them to anyone.”

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.
