At TRS Bespoke Interiors, we handcraft bespoke kitchens for homeowners across Thurlestone, working within everything from the thatched cottages of West Buckland and the converted stone barns of Church Farm to the larger detached homes set towards Thurlestone Sands.
Our workshop sits in the Devon countryside, from where our team of skilled craftsmen can design and build bespoke kitchens for homeowners on this stretch of the South Hams coast, bringing the same dedication to handcrafted excellence to every Thurlestone project, wherever in the village it takes place.
TRULY BESPOKE DESIGNS FOR THURLESTONE HOMES
The Grade II listed cottages of Church Cottages and the detached homes and cottages of Homefield each have their own proportions and layouts.
Thurlestone’s homes also include thatched cottages that in some cases are arranged over half levels, converted stone barns, detached bungalows and larger detached houses.
As a result, every bespoke kitchen we design for them is completely unique, each individually planned around every wall, doorway and window, with every cabinet sized to its position, and our dedication to handcrafted excellence is present in every decision, from the very first sketch through to the final fitting.
Tom Stokes, founder of TRS Bespoke Interiors, brings over fifteen years of design and craftsmanship experience gathered across projects in both New Zealand and the UK, and this depth of knowledge, combined with an unmatched design expertise and a dedication to quality, informs every kitchen we create for our Thurlestone homeowners.
Every kitchen is handcrafted within our Devon workshop, where we combine traditional carpentry skills with modern craft techniques to produce kitchens of unparalleled craftsmanship, built to last you and your loved ones for decades of daily use.
"Tom and the team at TRS designed and built us a bespoke media unit and walk-in wardrobe for our new build home. From start to finish, the design process through to a workshop visit to choose finishes and colours felt like a true collaboration of our ideas with his expertise. The quality of the work is excellent, and during the installation process, his team were polite, professional and left the house as clean as they found it. Highly recommend Tom and all at TRS."

LOCAL DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS FOR THURLESTONE
Thurlestone’s homes range from thatched and listed cottages in the village centre, where kitchens can sit beneath vaulted ceilings or on half levels alongside exposed beams and wood-burning stoves, to detached houses and bungalows on generous plots, so kitchens range from period rooms with their own proportions, where any listed building requirements are taken into account from the outset, to more regular layouts that open naturally into the dining area.
The detached houses and bungalows along Mead Lane and Ilbert Road, along with the bungalows of Mead Drive, often sit on large plots, some with beautiful sea views, which gives us scope to plan a kitchen as part of a more open-plan design, with an island, tall storage and cabinetry that links the kitchen to the dining space and the garden.
However, each Thurlestone project we take on is completely unique, with every last detail individually hand-selected based on your home’s aesthetic and design layout, for a result that is entirely and exclusively yours.
ONLY THE FINEST MATERIALS
From the waterside cottages close to Noss Hard to the listed barn conversions of Rowden Court, we select only the highest quality materials available, chosen for both beauty and longevity. For your kitchen, that might mean rift-sawn oak cabinetry paired with veined marble worktops and brushed bronze hardware, or hand-painted cabinetry in soft neutral tones with a quartz surface and polished solid brass fittings, for a finished design that feels every bit as special as the home it is built for.
Every bespoke kitchen we design for our Noss Mayo homeowners begins with your exact brief and personal taste, and we take pride in delivering results that surpass expectations, sourcing only the finest materials available to us and holding to our unwavering attention to detail and uncompromising quality standards from the first drawing to the final installation, producing stunning results built for years of daily use.
UNMATCHED CRAFTSMANSHIP FOR HOMES ACROSS THURLESTONE
From the listed cottages of Church Cottages and the cottages and detached homes of Homefield, to the detached houses of Ilbert Road, we can handcraft bespoke kitchens for your unique Thurlestone home.
From the thatched cottages and converted barns to the detached bungalows and larger coastal homes, no two Thurlestone properties share the same room proportions, ceiling heights or layout, and as such, no two of the bespoke kitchens we design for Thurlestone homes are ever alike.
At TRS Bespoke Interiors, every Thurlestone project begins with a deep understanding of the home itself, taking in its natural light, its layout and its particular architectural detail, whether that is a thatched cottage with a vaulted ceiling or a larger detached home with sea views, so that the finished space feels as though it has always belonged there, handcrafted exclusively for the way you and your loved ones live.
FOR THE WHOLE HOME
Whether you’re looking for a bespoke kitchen with stunning veined Calacatta marble, handcrafted rift-sawn oak veneer bathroom cabinetry, or a bespoke dressing room layered with warmth, fitted with blue velvet inlays and finished with brass hardware, we can design one-of-a-kind spaces for the whole home. From bespoke home studies, media rooms and alcove units to bespoke storage in hallways, boot rooms and utility rooms, our dedicated team of skilled craftsmen and designers can handcraft whatever you envision from within our Devon-based workshop – it just starts with a conversation.
