Victorian Country Home

England rugby international Will Greenwood and his wife Caro wanted a kitchen that combined elegance with everyday family life.

The layout is defined by four key zones: a back‑wall run with an Aga, Miele ovens and dual dishwashers, a walk‑in pantry, and twin breakfast cupboards. At the centre sits a generous island clad in Neolith, its waterfall sides delivering both visual drama and practical resilience.

The cabinetry combines Shaker‑style in‑frame construction with subtle bead detailing and a bespoke hand‑painted finish. Inside are oak‑lined shelves, integrated lighting and a hidden bar, all designed to maximise function without sacrificing style.

The project extended beyond the kitchen, encompassing a practical laundry room, a boot room, a home office with fitted bookcases, and a bespoke media unit in the snug. Materials, colours and detailing were carried through, giving the home a cohesive warmth while allowing each area its own personality.

“The kitchen feels both timeless and contemporary, designed for family life yet ready to host everything from dinner parties to quiet evenings with friends.”
