RANGE COOKERS

An iconic element of a country kitchen, and now increasingly used in contemporary settings, a range cooker maintains its warmth constantly, which is particularly beneficial during winter as it gives out a good deal of ambient heat. It can also be adapted to link with a central-heating system and power several radiators. In recent years Agas have been modernised to make them more user-friendly, with electronic controls so the hotplates and ovens can be individually controlled. A slimline version (60cm wide, left) is now available and can be ordered in a range of bespoke colours.
