Syre Partridge Shaker Kitchen by Anscombs

“We loved Debbie’s original ideas at the design stage and our kitchen is exactly as the plans looked from our early meetings, which we are really pleased with.
Everything was so professional, from the planning stage to installation and then onto project completion
The attention to detail, quality and finish of the work is first class, which is a testament to the professionalism of Debbie, Devin, their team & all the recommended contractors involved.”
Combined with the natural light from wide windows and glass bi-fold doors the partridge grey shaker-style units help to create a bright and airy impression, while still feeling homely. This U- shaped kitchen with an open-plan living concept has been specially designed to suit this space. The dining table placed next to the glass doors helps the kitchen area flow into the living area, and the extra cupboard and worktop space next to this can be used for a variety of functions, for example, a breakfast or drink preparation zone.
At first glance, the under-mounted Blanco Siligranit sink may seem like a typical one-and-a-half bowl sink. However, the Insinkerator premium 4-in-1 hot tap provides a range of functions without adding extra clutter to the worktop. The boiling water function means a kettle is no longer needed, and means making a cup of tea or coffee is almost instant. The only sign of the food waste disposal unit is a button on the worktop. The rest is entirely hidden under the sink, resulting in a sleek design with more functionality than ever.
The 30mm quartz worktop has draining grooves carved into it which prevents water from accumulating in this area, eventually ending up on the floor, as instead, it will drain into the sink. The fully integrated Neff dishwasher placed next to the sink is also hidden from sight but has a range of functions that suit a variety of time, temperature and intensity needs. It also has the InfoLight feature that is displayed so you know if it is running, as it runs at a quiet 46dB. There is also a built-in washing machine.
A Neff slide & hide CircoTherm oven boasts 12 functions that suit a variety of cooking needs, both for everyday usage and for more specific requirements. It also has a Pyrolytic cleaning function, which makes cleaning the oven effortless as no harsh chemicals or scrubbing is needed. Directly next to this is a compact oven with a microwave function. This can either act as an oven, microwave or both at the same time. It also has a range of other features to carry out many functions. This means there is no longer a need for a countertop microwave that takes up space on the worktop and detracts from the design of the kitchen by adding unnecessary visual clutter.
Underneath this, there is a 14cm warming drawer. This has a sleek design and can warm plates, keep food at an appropriate temperature or assist with baking. The 70/30 fridge-freezer has low frost technology, which should reduce the amount of frost in the freezer compartment and decrease defrosting times. It also has FreshSafe, which can preserve fresh food for up to 3 times as long as conventional refrigerator drawers.
The Neff flex induction hob has three standard zones and one flex zone. The flex zone allows you to cook with several pots and pans in this zone simultaneously, and will only heat the areas covered by cookware made of suitable material. The integrated canopy hood is disguised by the cabinet front, which maintains the continuity of the units, as they are not interrupted by a protruding extractor fan that does not go along with the design of the kitchen. Around these are a range of storage solutions, with doors and drawer fronts which had been specifically sized and placed to create an aesthetically pleasing symmetrical design while still maximising the storage space.
