Sevenoaks homeowners increasingly recognise their gardens as extensions of indoor living. Those generous plots backing onto the North Downs offer spectacular settings for alfresco dining. Working with the natural contours of Kent's chalky soil and considering sight lines from period properties, each outdoor kitchen becomes a seamless addition to established gardens.
Material selection proves crucial given our particular microclimate between the Greensand Ridge and the Weald. Granite worktops withstand temperature fluctuations better than softer stones. Stainless steel appliances cope admirably with morning dew common in valley locations. Thoughtful drainage prevents pooling on clay-heavy sites throughout TN14, whilst clever positioning shields cooking areas from prevailing south-westerly winds.
Twenty years installing kitchens across the Sevenoaks district means understanding exactly which suppliers deliver on time to Otford's narrow lanes. Local planning considerations around Dunton Green's conservation areas inform every design decision.
