Marlborough in Dust Grey is used in one apartment in this exciting conversion of a hospital building in Melton Mowbray. We are proud to be supplying kitchens to a prestigious new development at Melton Mowbray, part of which involves the restoration and conversion of the beautiful Wyndham Lodge building into premium apartments. Dating from the 19th century and steeped in history, it was important that the restoration of the lodge was sympathetic to the original features of the building. Externally, the original stonework has been painstakingly restored, and the new timber sash windows faithfully replicate the originals.
We have gone on to supply and install the kitchens in the surrounding new homes which are often customised to suit the home buyers preferences. In early 2024 this development is ongoing some 5 years since its start.
Internally, the high ceilings – nearly 11 feet high in some of the new apartments – provided a challenge to us when designing the kitchens, as we wanted to make the most of the ceiling height. To this end, we used our tallest larder units, with top boxes stacked on top. We used our wide range of trim and cornice options to provide some nice detailing on a kitchen which we feel beatifully marries the traditional architecture to the requirements of a modern kitchen. We felt that our Marlborough door – a smooth shaker door in a modern silk finish – was perfect for this, and the ever popular Dust Grey contrasted perfectly with the Silestone Lagoon worktops.
