A Traditional Green Kitchen in York

The Cottage Project was an extensive undertaking completed by Yorkshire Kitchen Design. A complete overhaul of an old cottage kitchen, remodelled to suit the clients current living requirements & specifications - a characterful property enhanced for todays living.

The nature of an old cottage created much unseen work, extensive steel installations and a lot of personalisation to the property. The end result is a practical, stylish and functional space.

 Project Overview

• Removal of back door, allowing for installation of fabricated steel beam. Bricking up the opening, manufacturing and installing a made to measure window to match the other existing windows.

• Removal of window, creating a new back door opening. Moving of multiple pipes which were in the way of the new opening and rerouting these. Installation of new back door, making good of pipe boxing and flooring repairs.
