Our prediction for the new must- have-accessory- Meet the £100,000 Robot Chef.

Once upon a time, a “luxury kitchen” meant granite worktops and a wine fridge that made you look like you knew your Barolo from your Blossom Hill. Then came the Quooker tap, the boiling-water-on-demand marvel that instantly made every other kitchen look like it was living in 2004.

Now, brace yourselves, because the next must-have accessory for high-end new builds and period renovations has officially arrived. It doesn’t just chill your champagne or steam your broccoli. It cooks your entire dinner. Meet the Moley Robotics Robochef, a £100,000 kitchen companion with a single robotic arm and more culinary precision than your average Michelin chef.

This thing doesn’t just stir. It swirls, scrapes, pours and even wipes the spatula clean with the kind of care that would make Mary Berry blush. It can cook 50 different dishes perfectly, from spaghetti Amatriciana to butter chicken, and it’ll never burn the garlic, undercook the pasta, or sneak a taste of your sauce when your back’s turned.

Think of it as the lovechild of Nigella Lawson and the Terminator, a cyborg with impeccable seasoning instincts.

The Property Angle

Here’s where it gets interesting, from a property standpoint, this is where the luxury kitchen arms race (pun intended) is heading. For years, developers have wooed buyers with Miele steam ovens, Bora induction hobs, and taps that hiss boiling water like angry snakes. But once every new-build already has all that, what’s next?

Automation.Precision.A literal robotic chef that guarantees your risotto stirs itself every two minutes while you pretend to “work from home.”

Mark my words, in the next five years, having a Moley kitchen will be a status symbol. Forget “open plan.” Forget “German kitchen.” The buzz phrase will be:

“Oh yes, it’s a Moley kitchen, it cooks for you.”

A new-build penthouse without one will feel about as premium as a flat without underfloor heating.

But Do We Need It?

Absolutely not. That’s not the point, luxury isn’t about necessity, it’s about narrative.

And progress narrative now looks like a robot arm that can sauté pork cheeks while you’re still trying to remember your Wi-Fi password.

Developers take note, install one of these beauties in your next show kitchen and watch the viewing traffic double. Buyers won’t just see themselves living there, they’ll see themselves never having to cook again.

So yes, you heard it here first. In my professional opinion, the Moley Robochef is the next big property flex. Forget walk-in wardrobes and wine walls. The future of luxury living comes with a titanium spatula and a software update.

Now if only it could empty the dishwasher too, then we’d really be in business.
