This recent project for Mr & Mrs McGown involved a full kitchen renovation and structural transformation, creating a beautifully open and highly practical living space in Durham.
To achieve the new layout, we removed a supporting wall and carried out extensive building work, including full electrical and plumbing installation and plastering. The result is a practical open plan kitchen design that feels spacious, light, and perfectly suited to modern family life.
Bespoke Shaker Kitchen in Cashmere
The kitchen features a Shaker door with horizontal grain in Cashmere, offering a timeless style with a subtle contemporary feel. The warm neutral tone works beautifully alongside the new oak flooring, helping to create a calm and inviting atmosphere.
A 20mm quartz worktop and matching quartz splashback run throughout the space, continuing across the central island for a clean, cohesive finish. The large quartz island now forms the heart of the home, providing generous preparation space, integrated storage, and seating.
Floor to ceiling cupboards maximise storage while maintaining an elegant look.
Premium Appliances & Thoughtful Design
The kitchen is equipped with built-in Neff appliances, alongside a statement Range Master cooker and canopy hood, combining performance with classic character.
This bespoke kitchen design in Durham balances practicality with visual appeal, ensuring the space works effortlessly for everyday living while still feeling refined.
Delivered with Care
Following completion, Mr McGown kindly shared this review:
“Dragonville fitted our kitchen. The quality of work was superb, the team were incredibly professional and helpful, and everything was delivered ahead of schedule. I am very grateful to Neil for making this such a straightforward process and for his helpful insights especially in the design process. Dragonville also coordinated with building control which made life much easier. I endorse them without hesitation.”
This project highlights how a carefully planned kitchen renovation in Durham, combined with structural reconfiguration and bespoke cabinetry, can completely transform a home.
