Your Kitchen, Designed for Your Melton Mowbray Home
Whether you are in a Georgian town house near the market place or a farmhouse out in the Leicestershire countryside, your kitchen is designed specifically for your home, not adapted from something built for a different kind of space.
A bespoke kitchen design for a Melton Mowbray home by Mastercraft Kitchens
Designed Around Your Home
Designing a kitchen well starts with understanding how the room sits in your home. Where the light comes from, how you move through the space, how it connects to what is around it. Layout and proportions come first. Once those are right, the visual decisions follow naturally. We begin with the room, not with a range.
Melton Mowbray has some genuinely distinct housing. Georgian and Victorian town houses in the centre, hunt country houses on the edges, farmhouses and rural homes spread across the surrounding Leicestershire landscape. Each brings its own proportions and its own constraints. Your kitchen is designed to sit within the architecture of your home, not placed over it.
Alcoves, chimney breasts, sloping ceilings, walls that cannot move: these things are resolved at the design stage. By the time manufacturing begins, every dimension has been accounted for. Nothing is left to be worked around when the installation team arrives. The room is understood before anything is built. That is how it should be.
Your kitchen is designed individually, built in our own UK workshop, and installed by the same team throughout. One process, one point of responsibility. The designer who plans your kitchen understands exactly how it will be made, which means the two things are never at odds with each other.
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. Factory assembly produces tighter tolerances and a more consistent finish than anything built in your home from a kit. That difference is visible in the finished result and felt every day in how the kitchen performs.
The same standard runs through the whole kitchen, not just the parts that catch your eye. Drawer runners, hinges, interior fittings: all specified to the same level as the doors and worktops. The parts you do not see every day are built to exactly the same standard as the ones you do. That is what determines how well your kitchen holds up over years of use, not just how it looks on the day it goes in.
Because we make your kitchen ourselves, we are not working from a catalogue of fixed sizes. If your room needs an unusual width, a run that follows a sloping ceiling, or a configuration that does not exist as a standard option, we design and build it exactly as required. The workshop exists to serve the design, not the other way round.
Your Melton Mowbray Kitchen Project, Handled from Start to Finish
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. There are no handoffs between separate contractors, no gaps where things can fall through. Everything moves forward properly because one team holds the whole thing from beginning to end.
The designers who plan your kitchen understand exactly how it will be built. The team who builds it knows what was designed and why. That continuity makes a real practical difference, especially when your room has unusual features or specific constraints. Nobody arrives on site seeing your plans for the first time. The way we work is set up to keep that thread unbroken throughout.
Melton Mowbray homes vary enormously. A Georgian town house in the centre of town, a hunt country house with a large kitchen running off a rear extension, a rural Leicestershire farmhouse with low ceilings and thick stone walls: each one starts from a completely different place. Your project is planned on its own terms, not adjusted to fit a programme drawn up for a different kind of house.
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 at the design stage. The room has been understood long before the first cabinet goes in.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you design kitchens for period properties in Melton Mowbray?
Yes, and it is exactly the kind of work we do most often in this area. Period homes come with genuine constraints: irregular walls, chimney breasts, low ceilings, rooms that were never built with a modern kitchen in mind. All of that is resolved at the design stage. Your kitchen is drawn around the room as it actually is, not as it would be if it were simpler.
What does a bespoke kitchen typically cost?
It varies considerably depending on the size of your room, the materials you choose, the level of storage detail, and the appliances you want to include. A straightforward way to think about it is that a bespoke kitchen is a long-term investment in your home, not a product with a fixed price tag. The best thing to do is speak with us about your specific project. We can give you a realistic picture once we understand what your space involves and what you are looking for.
How long does the whole process take from first conversation to finished kitchen?
It depends on the size and complexity of your project, but as a general guide you should allow several months from your initial consultation to installation. The design and planning stage takes time to get right, manufacturing follows once everything is finalised, and installation is scheduled to fit your home. We will give you a clear timeline once your project is underway.
What happens at the first consultation?
We come to your home, look at the room properly, and have a straightforward conversation about what you are trying to achieve. There is no presentation and no sales pitch. We want to understand the space, how you use it, and what is not working about the current setup. From there we can start to form a picture of what the design needs to do.
Can you handle rooms with awkward features, like sloping ceilings or unusual proportions?
That is a normal part of what we do, particularly in older Melton Mowbray properties. Sloping ceilings, chimney breasts, alcoves, walls that are not square: all of these are measured and drawn accurately at the design stage. Because we manufacture your kitchen ourselves, we can build to whatever dimensions your room requires. Nothing is forced into a standard size.
Do you work on larger renovation projects or extensions?
Yes, and having design and manufacturing under one roof is particularly useful in that situation. When your kitchen is part of a wider building project, the cabinetry, layout and spatial planning need to work alongside what the builders and architects are doing. Because we handle everything ourselves, we can coordinate closely with other trades, respond to changes as the project develops, and make sure the kitchen is designed from the start to fit the finished space, not retrofitted into it once the building work is done.
What kitchen styles do you offer?
We design across a wide range of styles, from traditional shaker kitchens and in-frame kitchens that suit period properties well, through to more contemporary designs. The style is guided by your home, your taste, and what will sit well in the space. We do not push you towards a particular look. The design responds to what your home calls for and what you actually want to live with.
Where is the kitchen manufactured?
In our own UK workshop. Every cabinet is built to the exact dimensions of your room, fully assembled before it leaves the workshop. We do not buy in flat-pack units or outsource the making. The whole thing is built by us, which means quality and accuracy are consistent from start to finish.
Who carries out the installation?
Our own installation team. The same company that designed and built your kitchen installs it. You are not dealing with a separate contractor who has no connection to the design or manufacturing process. That continuity matters, and it means that if anything needs resolving on the day, it is handled by people who know your kitchen inside out.
Do I need to find my own appliances, or can you help with that?
We can advise on appliances and help you specify what will work well in your kitchen. Getting the appliances right is part of the design process, not an afterthought. The layout is planned around what you are cooking with and how you use the kitchen, so appliance selection happens early, not once everything else has been decided.
How accurate will the measurements be for a period property with uneven walls?
Very accurate. We survey your room in detail before anything is designed or manufactured. In older properties, walls are rarely perfectly straight or square, and we account for that. Your kitchen is drawn from the actual measurements of your room, not from approximations. That survey is the foundation that everything else is built on.
Can we see examples of kitchens you have done in similar homes?
Yes. We are happy to share relevant examples during your consultation and talk through projects that are similar in terms of property type or design direction. You can also browse our journal for a sense of the range of work we do. When we meet, we will focus on what is relevant to your home and your brief rather than showing you work that does not apply.
