This room in a Surrey country house was remarkable for its size and the drama of the high ceilings with skylights.
It gave us plenty of room to include both classic Robinson and Cornish features and some unexpected touches the owner specially requested.
Look beyond the Aga with our trademark overmantel, and you'll find a triple housekeeper's cupboard with a hidden hatch to the dining room.
The large island incorporates a butcher's block, breakfast bar, waste chute and a small vegetable sink carved directly out of the solid granite worktop.
There's even a corner for a complete mini office with desktop, stool, notice board, storage and pigeonholes for letters.
A great space in which to cook, eat, live and work.
If you were to buy this kitchen today, it would cost between £130,000 and £140,000 including appliances but excluding building, plumbing and electrical work.
