Last year we announced that we were working together with Candelisa Properties to supply and install 51 luxury fitted kitchens for apartments in a historic textile mill in Cononley which was being renovated by boutique property developer Candelisa.
Fast forward nine months and we’re delighted to say we’ve completed the project and that Candelisa were so happy with us that in addition to the 51 mill apartment kitchens, they also asked us to do an additional 42 kitchens for the individual houses they built behind the mill that formed part of the same development.
The Perfect partnership: a renowned developer and the North West’s leading independent kitchen company.
Candelisa is a leading UK and International property developer that specialises in the regeneration of historic buildings and creating new build housing that is totally unique. The Horace Mills development saw the innovative redevelopment of the former textile mill and consisted of two elements; the original historic mill building and a brand new, luxury annex. The elegant apartments offer a choice of 1, 2 or 3 bedrooms that boast exceptional living spaces with old, historic character or contemporary style.
Are you ready to make your dream kitchen a reality?
It made sense for Candelisa to work with an established, local trusted kitchen company and with 35 years’ experience, kitchen Design Centre was the ideal choice. From the start they knew that the kitchens would be key to selling the apartments and Sales and Marketing Manager Sarah Cawley wanted a kitchen company that was not only capable of delivering this large project but one that could offer quality kitchens in a range of styles. It was also important that the company could offer a bespoke personal service for their clients, where each customer could choose their individual kitchen and have a choice of styles and colours. Delivery and installation were also a key factor: Candelisa needed a company who had their own expert installation team to fulfil the high expectations.
“I was really impressed with kitchen Design Centre,” says Sarah, “ I visited their Barrowford showroom and loved it. The extensive kitchen ranges and the expert designers made them the perfect company for us to work with. We wanted design led kitchens in a range of styles and Kitchen Design Centre offered this and more.”
Sarah worked closely with Simon Thomas from Kitchen Design Centre, with Simon managing the project from start to finish. In some of the apartments Sarah chose the kitchens and, for the others, customers came to the Barrowford showroom and worked with Simon to design their perfect kitchen.
The stone-built houses behind the mill are all totally different in specification outside and inside and all required a different kitchen. This was no problem for Kitchen Design Centre.
The end result is a development with a wide range of kitchens, all totally unique but equally stunning.
The development is 80% sold already and the feedback on the kitchens has been incredible.
Are you ready to make your dream kitchen a reality?
"Everyone commented on the kitchens when looking round and the customers who could choose their own loved the wide choice they had and how fantastic the kitchens were. The product range Kitchen Design Centre has is second to none."
"This was a great project to work on and we are really proud of the end result. All the kitchens are fantastic. Kitchen Design Centre leads the way when it comes to contract kitchens. Our offering can’t be beaten: award winning designers and showrooms, the ability to offer a bespoke package and our own fantastic fitting team. Most of all it’s the level of service we offer throughout the whole process that sets us apart. I’d like to thank Sarah and Candelisa for choosing us. The development is incredible and Candelisa are to be congratulated on such a successful project."Simon Thomas

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.
