Heritage Green Shaker Kitchen in Buckerell, Near Honiton
This beautifully considered kitchen in Buckerell, near Honiton, combines timeless Shaker styling with a rich Heritage Green painted finish and warm natural details.
Designed by Sarah Hale at AP Interiors, the kitchen was carefully planned around the character of the property and its existing services, with bespoke cabinetry used to make the most of the available space while creating a practical and cohesive finished design.
A Bespoke Kitchen Designed Around the Property
This project required more than simply selecting cabinetry to fit the room. The existing property presented several areas where standard kitchen furniture alone wouldn't provide the right solution.
Sarah's design combines Stori Aldana slim Shaker cabinetry, painted in Heritage Green, with bespoke elements carefully designed around the existing services and features of the property.
The result is a kitchen that retains the character of the home while providing the storage, appliances and practical features expected from a modern fitted kitchen.
From Design to Installation
A successful kitchen relies on the design and installation working together. This Buckerell project is a great example of how Sarah's detailed planning and Lee's practical fitting experience combined to create a kitchen designed around the home rather than forcing the home to fit around the kitchen.

Meet the Team Behind This Kitchen
Designed by Sarah Hale
-
This Buckerell kitchen was designed by Sarah Hale at AP Interiors, who worked closely with the customer to create a kitchen that complemented the character of the property while making the best possible use of the available space.
-
The existing services and unusual areas of the room required careful planning, with Sarah incorporating bespoke and shallow-depth cabinetry where standard units wouldn't provide the right solution.
-
From the Heritage Green Shaker cabinetry and warm oak-effect interiors to the quartz worktops, storage and appliance choices, each element was considered as part of the overall design.
Installed by Lee Mallen
The kitchen was installed by Lee Mallen, whose attention to detail was particularly important on a project with this level of bespoke work.
Working with Sarah's design, Lee adapted and fitted cabinetry around the property's existing services and more challenging areas, helping turn the detailed design into a carefully finished kitchen.
The combination of thoughtful design and skilled installation was particularly important on this project, where several elements needed to be tailored specifically to the property.
A Bespoke Kitchen Designed Around the Property
This project required more than simply selecting cabinetry to fit the room. The existing property presented several areas where standard kitchen furniture alone wouldn't provide the right solution.
Sarah's design combines Stori Aldana slim Shaker cabinetry, painted in Heritage Green, with bespoke elements carefully designed around the existing services and features of the property.
The result is a kitchen that retains the character of the home while providing the storage, appliances and practical features expected from a modern fitted kitchen.
Bespoke Cabinetry for a Challenging Space
One of the defining features of this Buckerell kitchen was the bespoke work required to accommodate the property's existing services.
Rather than allowing pipework and other practical requirements to compromise the overall design, cabinetry was carefully adapted and purpose-made to work around them. Shallow-depth units and individually considered internal details allowed otherwise difficult areas to become useful parts of the kitchen.
The Torro Cremona Oak cabinet interiors provide a warm contrast to the Heritage Green doors, while the bespoke detailing demonstrates how a carefully designed kitchen can respond to the individual characteristics of an existing property.
Integrated Appliances & Storage
Practical Storage Built Into the Design
Practicality was considered throughout the kitchen, with integrated appliances and storage helping maintain the clean appearance of the Shaker cabinetry.
The design incorporates Neff N50 integrated refrigeration and dishwashing, a Caple Atara black chimney hood, an integrated 64-litre twin-bin system and dedicated cutlery storage.
These elements are incorporated discreetly into the cabinetry so that functionality doesn't dominate the overall appearance of the room.
Bespoke Cabinetry for a Challenging Space
 Luxury New Build, Honiton
We recently designed and supplied this stunning new build kitchen near Offwell, Honiton. It features premium Stori Aldana solid ash Shaker doors in Willow, finished with high-spec NEFF appliances and a bespoke timber breakfast bar.
Quartz Worktops & Finishing Details
The Heritage Green cabinetry is complemented by 30mm Unistone Traonyx quartz worktops in a polished finish.
Matching quartz upstands and the hob splashback create continuity around the kitchen, while the natural cast-iron handles and warm oak-effect cabinet interiors introduce texture and character.
The combination gives the kitchen a traditional feel without making the finished space feel dated.
