TRUSTED BY HOMEOWNERS ACROSS THE REGION
Your Kitchen, Designed for Your Ilfracombe Home
Your kitchen needs to be designed properly for your home. Not adapted from a standard range and not adjusted as things progress, but planned from the room itself, so everything works as it should once it is in place. The same team handles your project from the first conversation through to installation, so nothing is lost between stages.
A bespoke kitchen design for a Ilfracombe home by Mastercraft Kitchens
Designed Around Your Home
If you are planning a new kitchen in your home in Ilfracombe, the starting point is always the room itself. The layout, the light, the way you move through the space. That is what shapes everything that follows.
Homes in Ilfracombe vary more than most people expect. A thatched cottage behaves very differently to a contemporary architect-designed house or a period farmhouse on the edge of town. Each one has its own proportions, its own quirks. Your kitchen is designed from scratch around yours, not pulled from a range that was created for a different kind of home entirely.
Alcoves, chimney breasts, sloping ceilings: these are resolved at the design stage, not on the day installation begins. By the time manufacturing starts, every dimension has already been accounted for.
The designer who plans your kitchen understands exactly how it will be built. That shared knowledge, across the same team, means when everything arrives at your home, it already fits how the room has been planned.
Crafted Cabinetry, Built to Last
Your kitchen is made in our own UK workshop, built specifically for your home. Every cabinet is rigid and factory assembled before it leaves, not flat-pack components put together on site. That process produces tighter tolerances and a more consistent finish, and you feel the difference the moment you start using it.
The same standard runs through every part of the kitchen, not just the doors and surfaces you notice first. Drawer runners, hinges, interior fittings: all specified and finished to the same level. The parts you do not see every day are built to hold up just as well as the ones you do. That is what determines how well your kitchen performs over years of use.
Because your kitchen is made in our own workshop, the manufacturing process is not limited by standard sizes or catalogue configurations. If your room calls for an unusual cabinet width, a run beneath a sloping ceiling or something specific to your layout, it is designed and built exactly as required. Your space sets the brief, not the other way around.
One Team, from Design to Installation
From your first conversation through to the day your kitchen is handed over, the whole project sits with Mastercraft. Design, manufacturing, installation: one team, one process. You are not left coordinating trades or chasing progress between separate contractors.
The designers who plan your kitchen understand exactly how it will be built, because they work alongside the people who build it. That continuity matters, especially when your room has unusual features or specific constraints. No one arrives on site seeing your plans for the first time.
Ilfracombe homes bring their own starting points. A thatched property has different structural realities to a contemporary new build or a working farmhouse that has been extended over the years. Each project is treated on its own terms. Nothing is adjusted to fit a programme that was drawn up with a different kind of house in mind.
Your cabinetry is manufactured to the exact dimensions of your room, measured precisely before anything is made. When installation begins, everything arrives ready to fit. There are no on-site adjustments to compensate for things that were not fully resolved earlier. If you want to understand how the full process works, from design through to handover, that is laid out clearly on our how we work page.
Different ways your kitchen can be approached
We Work Across Ilfracombe and the Surrounding Area
From harbourside cottages in Ilfracombe to period farmhouses further inland and newer homes on the coastal edges of North Devon, every project begins in the same place: your room, your layout, your home. We also work across our wider South West coverage area, including towns along the Devon coast and beyond.
Every Mastercraft kitchen is designed, built and installed by our own in-house team
Your Home in Ilfracombe. Your Kitchen.
Whether you are remodelling an existing kitchen or starting completely from scratch, the process begins in the same place: your room. Your layout, your proportions, your way of using the space.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a bespoke kitchen project take from start to finish?
Most kitchens take around three to five months from the initial design consultation through to installation. Projects involving larger rooms, more involved cabinetry or significant structural changes can take a little longer. You will have a clear picture of the timeline before anything is confirmed, so you can plan around it properly.
What happens at the first consultation?
We come to your home in Ilfracombe and look at the room properly. That means understanding the dimensions, the light, how you move through the space and what needs to change. We talk through what you are hoping to achieve and where the challenges are. Nothing is presented to you at that stage, it is a conversation first.
Can you work with unusual room shapes or difficult features like sloping ceilings or chimney breasts?
Yes, and this is where designing from scratch makes a real difference. Unusual features are resolved at the design stage, not treated as problems to work around later. If your room has a sloping ceiling, an alcove or a chimney breast, those become part of the design rather than obstacles to it.
What does a bespoke kitchen typically cost?
Bespoke kitchens vary considerably depending on the size of the room, the materials chosen, the level of storage detail and which appliances are included. As a general guide, most projects sit between fifteen and forty thousand pounds, though larger or more complex kitchens can go beyond that. It is worth thinking about this as a long-term investment in your home. A properly designed and built kitchen, made specifically for your room, will perform and look better over many years than something adjusted from a standard range.
What kitchen styles are available?
Because every kitchen is designed from scratch, you are not choosing from a fixed set of options. That said, popular approaches include shaker, in-frame and handleless designs, all of which can be finished in a wide range of colours, materials and hardware. The style is worked out around your home and your preferences, not the other way around.
How is the kitchen manufactured?
Your cabinetry is made in our own UK workshop. Every cabinet is rigid and factory assembled before it leaves, so it arrives at your home ready to install. This produces tighter tolerances and a more consistent finish than anything built from flat-pack components on site. The same workshop that makes your cabinet carcasses also produces the doors, drawers and internal fittings, all to the same specification.
Do you work on larger renovation projects or extensions?
Yes, and having design and manufacturing under one roof is particularly valuable when a kitchen is part of a wider building project. If you are extending your home or reconfiguring the layout, we can work alongside your architect or builder, designing the kitchen around the new space as it develops. Because we make everything ourselves, we can accommodate changes in dimensions or layout without the complications that come from working with separate suppliers.
Who handles the installation?
Installation is handled by our own team, not subcontracted out. They know the project because they have been involved throughout. By the time they arrive at your home, every dimension has already been resolved and every detail accounted for. Installation is straightforward as a result, not a process of working things out on site.
Do I need to visit a showroom?
No. The design process starts in your home, not in a showroom. We come to you, look at the room and begin from there. You are welcome to visit our store if you want to see finishes and materials in person, but it is not a necessary part of the process.
Can you work with the kitchen as part of a self-build project?
Yes. Self-builds often involve tight coordination between different parts of the project, and having a kitchen designer and manufacturer working as one team makes that considerably easier to manage. We can engage early in the process and design the kitchen around the build as it progresses, so the room and the kitchen are planned together from the start.
How far in advance should I get in touch?
If your project has a firm completion date in mind, getting in touch three to six months before you would like the kitchen installed is a sensible starting point. For larger or more complex projects, earlier is better. Even if your timeline is not fixed yet, an early conversation helps you understand what is involved and plan properly.
Is Ilfracombe within your working area?
Yes. We work across Ilfracombe and the surrounding North Devon area, as well as further across the South West. If you are based in or near Ilfracombe and are planning a kitchen, we are well placed to help.
