The Perfect Kitchen, Utility and Boot Room for a Converted Tractor Shed

When designer Suzanne Ryan went on her first site visit to measure a kitchen for Lianne and Wes she was faced with an old agricultural building with half a roof, no door and missing walls.

Such a derelict building may have seemed daunting to many designers but Suzanne immediately saw the fantastic potential: a blank canvas with lots of space. Fast forward a year and the space is now a fabulous open plan kitchen and living area.

Kitchen Design Centre was recommended to Lianne and Wes by their friends and after visiting other kitchen companies they went with Kitchen Design Centre because of their impressive showroom and Suzanne’s ideas and design capabilities.

Lianne knew she wanted a big island and contemporary family space but was open to design ideas. With no existing utilities coming in to the building, they weren’t tied to where appliances or plumbing could be and Suzanne’s first design nailed the brief and required only slight tweaks. She proposed blocking up a window to create more wall space and enabling a full run of tall units which house the Neff ovens and large Liebherr fridge freezer and wine cooler.

A grey theme was chosen and a handle less sleek look in Comet putty concrete opal grey and Cristall carbon metallic was offset with a wooden trim in vintage oak effect. To make the most of the light and airy space, Corian worktops in sparking white were selected.

The kitchen takes on a different look and feel at night thanks to the LED channel handle lighting. To accommodate busy family life, Lianne and Wes also opted for a separate utility and boot room which Suzanne designed to perfectly match the kitchen. A waste disposal and Quooker Flex Tap were also chosen.

Lianne and Wes are delighted with the kitchen, “Kitchen Design Centre were brilliant from Suzanne at the start to the fitters at the end. Despite getting the kitchen in lockdown everything ran smoothly and we’re delighted with the finished space, it really has the ‘wow’ factor and has become the heart of our new home.”

What Our Designer Says

"I loved working on this project. Lianne and Wes have converted the building in to a stunning family home and it was a joy to work on. The cutting-edge contemporary design works perfectly in the building."

AWARD-WINNING KITCHENS FOR AN AWARD-WINNING DEVELOPER

As you may know if you’ve visited any of our showrooms in Manchester, Blackburn, Liverpool or Barrowford, we manage more than 250 kitchen projects each year here at Kitchen Design Centre. Many of these kitchens are for individual customers, but we also specialise in providing exceptional designer kitchens to housebuilders and developers. We have a particularly successful longstanding relationship with Candelisa, a prestigious Yorkshire-based property developer that is (like us) known for the peerless quality of its designs.
The company already has an impressive array of awards on its shelves, and its team have recently managed to secure their latest accolade: the Best High Volume New Housing Development at the prestigious LABC Awards!
In case you need a quick refresher, the LABC Awards are the largest business-to-business awards in the UK’s building control sector, aimed at celebrating and rewarding building projects, and the people behind them. The Best High Volume New Housing Development in question was Candelisa’s project at Countyfields, Embsay. Due to our strong relationship with the company (largely through Simon Thomas, the head of our Barrowford showroom), Kitchen Design Centre was chosen to deliver every kitchen at the Embsay development – and like Candelisa’s team, we’re hugely proud of the results.

Latest case study now live incase you missed it.

With a keen eye for design, Nicole knew the look she wanted and approached a local kitchen company. They came up with a range of designs but although there was nothing wrong with them, the couple felt that they would like an alternative design. They were already dealing with a lot of different companies for other rooms in the house and were reluctant to involve another but Anthony suggested they visited Rowan at Kitchen Design Centre Urmston to see if he could improve the design, and they were absolutely blown away with what he came up with.
