German & English furniture
Two houses, each excellent at what it does. Which one suits you depends on the room and the way you want to live in it.
We could have carried a dozen ranges. We carry two, and we know them thoroughly.
Stoneham has been making kitchens in Kent since 1864. Sachsenküchen has been making them in Saxony since 1936. Both build to order, both offer a depth of finish and cabinetry that mass-market ranges do not, and both stand behind what they sell.
Carrying two means we know every carcase depth, hinge and drawer system in both catalogues, and can tell you on the day whether an idea will work. It also means neither of them is ever the answer by default.
Stoneham
Painted, timber, natural or stained, and in-frame cabinetry, made to order in any size. The flexibility to work around a chimney breast, a sloping ceiling or a listed wall, and a paint palette that runs to any colour you can name.
At home in a period house, cottage or penthouse apartment, anywhere the kitchen will want to look as though it has always been there.
Sachsenküchen
German-engineered to precise tolerances, with handled or handleless doors and a finish range running from matt lacquer through wood and metallics to ceramic and linoleum. Fifty-five collections, all built to order.
At home in open-plan rooms, extensions and anywhere the kitchen needs to sit quietly alongside the living space.
The parts you never see
Built to order
Nothing is ‘off the shelf’. Cabinets are made to the sizes your room actually needs.
Solid carcases
Thick, moisture-resistant board with edges sealed properly, so a leak under the sink is not the end of the run.
State-of-the-art drawers
Full-extension runners rated to hold a drawer of crockery, soft-close as standard.
Quality that lasts
We chose these brands for their quality and longevity. Look after them and they’ll look after you.
