Cossinton Manor - Lydford Style Bespoke Kitchen

(Text taken from Your Ultimate Kitchen Guide Magazine, April 2005)

“Benton provided a kitchen of a quality we couldn’t have hoped to have found having just moved into a new community. Our kitchen has been in operation for four years now and it’s as good as the day it was put in. I can’t speak highly enough of Benton,” says Julie Anne.

The design used for this kitchen has since become known as the Lydford and takes its name from Lydford Hall, in nearby Butleigh, where the first one was installed. Julie Anne was the second customer swayed by its raised and fielded edges on its door panels which are planed on the angle to a point, tall skirtings and ovolo beading on the egdes of the door frame.

“Another distinctive feature is the dentil moulding on the tops of the wall units and cupboards. It is a period Victorian woodcarving and we noticed it in the original conservatory at Cossington. The frames in the glass doors are Gothic arches which have an ecclesiastical feel to them. With a church next door it seemed rather appropriate,” says Richard Benton.
