Motspur Park worktops
The kitchens we meet in Motspur Park
Where the worktop jobs in Motspur Park get complicated is rarely the stone itself, and much more often the room the stone has to go into. Plots are deeper here than in inner Merton, so kitchens open into full-width rear extensions with bifolds and a genuine island rather than a peninsula. Two-run layouts with a 3m island are common in the larger detached houses. We would rather find an out of square wall at survey than on fitting day, so the survey is thorough and unhurried.
The old larder leaves behind a thick cold shelf and a vent brick through the outer wall, and both have to go before that wall reads flat. The surface is where the money actually moves: across the 185 surfaces we list the median is £224 per square metre, and half of them sit between £165 and £300. Supply is a range, and the room decides where in it you land.
The room is wide enough that an island turns up in nearly every scheme, and how far the drainage can be taken is what fixes where it sits. A knocked-through room means the surface is read from the dining side as well as the working side, so the figure has to run continuously and the pieces are taken from adjoining slab. Even light lets a mid-tone hold its own.
The stock behind these kitchens runs to 1930s semi, 1950s terrace and Postwar detached. Which one you have changes the order of the day more than the design does.
