The classic English country kitchen never fails to enchant, captivate and entrance the viewer. It is a timeless design classic that never goes out of fashion, especially when it is made by hand from English oak. This particular kitchen is made from English pippy oak and the beautiful markings are often referred to as cats paws. The reason why English pippy oak is so full of character is because the climate in the UK is cold and wet, so consequently the trees have a tough time and grow slowly with many branch outgrowths. The longevity and tenacity of English oak is legendary, quite simply..... a kitchen for life.
This kitchen is a classic in-frame design where the tongue and groove doors are connected directly by tee hinges onto an oak frame. This is the strongest and most stable form of construction. The blacksmith hand forged tee hinges and handles are a perfect design compliment for this design style of kitchen.
