Laura's Kitchen

Ashton-under-Lyne | Designed by: Daryl Bratt

17th Century Charm


There’s something incredibly warm and nostalgic about traditional cottage kitchens, which is why Wrenovator Laura embraced all the original features of her Grade II listed home when designing her kitchen. Dating back to the 1700s, it was important for Laura to maintain her cottage's look and feel while still meeting her young family's needs.

The cosy cottage aesthetic that many aspire to attain was easily achieved with our Country kitchen in the soothing shade of Linen Matt. This authentic design embraces the period property's gorgeous original features, including the beautiful Iron fireplace, a quaint built-in pantry, and exposed wooden beams. Soft white tones and bevelled edge frontals have provided the perfect canvas for accessorising with traditional décor and design, such as the glistening Chrome hardware and wooden accents.

Not to let having a compact kitchen get in the way of her dream island, Laura added a petite island into the centre of her kitchen design. The quaint island allows space for dining within the kitchen and is a focal point of the room.

Perhaps the most stunning feature of all is the original period window which frames the ceramic Belfast sink and floods the room with light. Open shelving in a Camel Grain creates a stand-out feature on the rear wall, which Laura has styled with neutral-toned ceramics in keeping with the rest of the design.

Despite the age of this property, Laura hasn’t let this stop her from having those all-important modern appliances. Conveniently located next to her sink is a Neff dishwasher, which is integrated into the units in order to keep the traditional look and feel of the space. Another unique feature included to adapt the kitchen to modern family life is the addition of a pet bed unit within the island, providing beloved pooch Willow somewhere to rest her paws after a long day.
