Cook outside. Stay a little longer.
Outdoor kitchens shaped around the way you cook and gather. Bespoke timberwork, practical preparation space and comfortable seating for gardens across Dartmouth and the South Hams.
A kitchen in the garden.
A natural part of home.
From a simple cooking station to a complete outdoor dining space, we bring layout, materials and craftsmanship together. The starting point is your routine: what you like to cook, how many people you host and how the kitchen connects to the house.
Everyday meals. Longer evenings.
Choose a starting point, then shape the proportions, equipment and finishes around your garden.
A compact cooking station
A practical run of worktop, storage and space for your chosen outdoor appliance.
A sheltered gathering place
Timber screening, seating and shelter considered alongside a suitable cooking arrangement.
A kitchen and dining terrace
Open-air cooking
A place for food. Room for company.
A well-planned terrace kitchen keeps preparation and conversation close. A useful worktop, considered storage and space to move make outdoor cooking feel easy, whether it is supper for two or a weekend gathering.

One coordinated garden kitchen.
Project management is woven into the service, keeping the design, construction and specialist work connected.
Start with the garden
Plan the cooking
Appliance choices, preparation space, storage and seating shape the layout and materials.
Resolve the details
The base, services, structure and specialist requirements are coordinated around the agreed design.
Build and finish
Timberwork, fitting and finishing come together through a managed programme and practical handover.
Start with the garden and its constraints.
New garden structures may qualify for permitted development in England, subject to limits and conditions. Roofs, boundaries, land coverage, listed buildings and designated land can affect the planning route.
We consider the proposal as a whole, including access, levels, neighbouring properties and service connections. Appliance installation requirements and any necessary specialist work are identified early.
Before your garden kitchen takes shape.
Can you build a bespoke garden kitchen in Dartmouth?
Yes. Timber Built creates garden kitchens from its Dartmouth base for homes across the South Hams and South Devon. The layout, timber detailing, storage and seating are developed around your garden and cooking preferences.
Can an outdoor kitchen include a barbecue or pizza oven?
These can be considered at the briefing stage. The particular appliance determines the space, supporting structure, ventilation, clearances and service requirements. We plan around its installation instructions and suitability for the proposed position.
Can the kitchen have a roof or timber shelter?
Can I use a garden kitchen outside summer?
Do I need planning permission for a garden kitchen?
The answer depends on the proposal and property. A kitchen within a new garden building, canopy or other structure may raise different questions from freestanding equipment on an existing terrace. Listed buildings, designated land and restricted development rights require particular attention. Confirm the route with the relevant local planning authority.
How much does a bespoke garden kitchen cost?
The cost depends on size, site preparation, timber and worktop choices, appliances, shelter and service connections. We develop the specification around your priorities so the scope is clear before a project price is agreed.
Do you coordinate the whole project?
Project coordination is part of the service. We bring the design, materials, timberwork and required specialist trades together around an agreed scope, from the early decisions to the finishing details.
