This big L-shaped kitchen is finished in light-coloured timber grain laminate with an essastone benchtop in Chinchilla.

The work area has more than 4m of bench space with a nib wall at the end providing a privacy barrier while allowing easy contact between meals and living areas.

The doors and drawers are fitted with soft-closing hinges and small brushed stainless-steel handles are a feature of the cabinetry.

The double sink by Oliveri is recessed into the counter and has an attractive round-head unilever tap. The European oven and range hood are in stainless steel and fitted seamlessly into the back wall cabinets.

Overhead cabinets have cabin lift-up doors and there is a glass splashback.

There is a three-door stacked pantry and a long breakfast bar with panelled laminate. Also featured are a dishwasher and microwave built in.
