Luxury Bespoke Kitchens in Colchester
Our bespoke kitchen design service starts with an initial meeting at our showroom in Bishop's Stortford. We are proud of all our designs being 'truly bespoke' which ensures your kitchen is designed around your space and personal requirements.
Our designers will talk you through all of the options available to you, including the furniture construction and appearance, materials, hardware and appliances.
What does bespoke mean to us?
A bespoke kitchen features an unrestricted design, with a choice of materials, styles, finishes, colour and design elements, all centred around your own personal requirements. Common challenges faced by our clients, for example by the property's walls, listed status or others can only be overcome by a truly bespoke kitchen.
‘Bespoke’ is an inappropriately overused term, but with The Handmade Kitchen Company, Bespoke means: that together we can create your dream kitchen, which is truly unique in the world.
Fully Fitted Kitchens in Colchester
Our core business is providing our trusted kitchen design, planning and installation service - which is a hassle free start-to-finish service.
Once your design is finalised and you agree to us undertaking your kitchen project, your kitchen will be constructed in our Essex based workshop, then taken to site by our kitchen fitters - who are skilled joiners - and installed perfectly into your space.

What Our Clients Say
Bespoke Kitchens for Colchester and the Surrounding Villages
Colchester is Britain's oldest recorded town and one of the most architecturally varied corners of Essex. Period townhouses and conservation streets sit alongside Victorian, Edwardian and modern family suburbs, and the surrounding villages run from Constable Country to the Mersea coast. We design, hand-build and install bespoke kitchens for clients across Colchester (CO1, CO2, CO3, CO4) and the surrounding villages, including Stanway, Mile End, Lexden, Wivenhoe, Dedham, Boxted, West Bergholt, Tiptree and West Mersea.
Our showroom in Bishop's Stortford is around 50 minutes' drive from Colchester via the A12. Every kitchen is hand-built in our Essex workshop and installed by our own kitchen fitters, who are time-served joiners.
Colchester Kitchen FAQs
Do you design kitchens in Colchester and the surrounding villages?
Yes. We design and install bespoke kitchens across Colchester and the surrounding north Essex area, including Stanway, Mile End, Lexden, Wivenhoe, Dedham, Boxted, West Bergholt, Tiptree, West Mersea and the wider Tendring district.
How far is your showroom from Colchester?
Our Bishop's Stortford showroom is approximately 50 minutes' drive from Colchester, via the A12. Visits are by appointment, after which we travel to your home for a no-obligation design consultation.
How long does a bespoke kitchen take from design to installation?
Most projects run from initial consultation to fitted installation in around 16 to 20 weeks, depending on the design complexity and any building work involved. The cabinetry is hand-built to order in our Essex workshop, then delivered and installed by our own joiners across Colchester and north Essex.
What kitchen styles work well in Colchester homes?
For period townhouses around the Old Town and conservation streets, our classic in-frame and traditional shaker styles sit most naturally with the original detailing. For modern family homes in Stanway, Lexden and the newer suburbs, the handleless Mapesbury style and our contemporary shaker designs are popular. We tailor the cabinetry, finish and detailing to the architecture of your home.
