1970s Kitchen

One mans meat .....

Quote from the ad "Buyer is more than welcome to take the hideous range cooker if they fancy (mostly works)". Personally I was drooling over that wonderful GEC Cavelcade which looks in better condition than the kitchen!

Actually I wonder if the kitchen is late 1960s rather than 1970s and then the cooker might be original to it. It has been updated over the years with new sink and taps and perhaps also door handles.

This kitchen would be so much more appealing, even if it's appealing as is, with some staging with lights. It must be cold where this kitchen resides. Where are the windows? It's a bit closed in looking with that one small jail cell window. My oh-pin-yun, only. :-) Interesting to see how the others live(d).

Phil,
I am not sure its actually so dark as there seems to be windows behind the photographer, at least near the junction with the room next door. And the low ceiling is not helping either. I think that it is actually one great big room with the double depth/double access units forming the barrier between the two areas. The trend now, and its not a bad thing, would be not to have the cupboards above the sink so that the whole area is more open and airy. There is a thread running discussing the merits of open plan Vs closed kitchens but I am very much the opinion that open is better. I hate being stuck in the kitchen (and of course European kitchens tend to be smaller than US) with my guests in another room while I am cooking and I am so glad that finally I don't have that any more - although I will acknowledge that its better not to be entirely open to the living room as well.

But thank you for your comments, always welcome :)

Getting back to the kitchen, I think the "cupboard" over the range is actually a canopy. Underneath the cooker On/Off switch in picture 5 (with the phone charger or whatever it is plugged in) is a Vent Axia control panel. Along with Xpelair, Vent Axia were the major supplier of extractor fans at that time.

Al - I think the photograph was taken by a giant or someone on a stepladder. The perspective seems nearer the ceiling. You're right - there's a light source there at the right.

Kitchens here are all open, if buying a newer home…last 2 we had built(what an experience), were open to the dining and living /morning rooms. It has been the trend here since we've been here, 1996.

Thanks again.

WOW, that's amazing. I've love that Classic, it's my favourite style, Bit out of my league at that price at the moment unfortunatly. Hope it and the 1504 go to a good home.
