Hoping to tap into your collective wisdom for a bit of creativity.
We are buying a very low cost auction property with the intention of doing it up and selling it on. In total, we have about £15k to do up the house in its entirety and this includes new boiler, bathroom, carpets etc so we really don't have very much money to throw at this.
Currently there is an oddly shaped, small kitchen extension attached to a decent sized dining room. We are going to replace the kitchen, but we were wondering if there was a simple way that we could (very cheaply) create a well designed kitchen/diner without removing any structural walls - we accept that the gas, water and drainage would have to be rerouted but the changes should be minimal. If it also had room for a sofa/tv, that would be good.
I've attached a diagram. The floors are concrete. I'd wondered if there was a way that the current kitchen could be divided with a stud wall to create a small utility room. A fridge/freezer could stand in the old kitchen and the door into the dining room could be removed. There is a large understairs cupboard with what appears to be a stud wall along the dining room.
Any ideas that spring out at you? All gratefully received
