Norfolk House, Earl Soham in Suffolk is a recent A James Baldry bespoke kitchen.  The clients, Mr and Mrs Grose and their two children, chose AJB because of personal recommendations from previous AJB clients.

It took three years for the design brief to crystallise but then just a week to be fitted.  Mrs Grose, an ex Saatchi and Saatchi person with an eye for design, created a design book, ie a collection of magazine pictures, fabric and colour samples, photos, sketches, in fact anything that helped specify the design.

The design could be called  traditional, finished by hand painting and lacquering, and has granite and Iroko hard wood work surfaces.  Jim was particularly pleased with the cutlery drawer, and the manufactured waste bin that takes a standard dustbin bag to reduce trips outside.  Like all AJB kitchens the units are individually made giving a proper fit, as round the vertical beam in this kitchen, and blending well with the Aga, the  belfast sink, and discretely masking the integral fridge, dishwasher, and washing machine.
