We are debating extending into the side return on a new house. The current kitchen is only 3.5m wide so too small for the kitchen I want. The side return would add on almost 2.5m more. However (there’s always a catch!) the side return is the only source of light for the dining room. Which means we’d have two accesses and also a formal dining room still so we couldn’t have another table in the extension as you normally would.
I know they look beautiful, but is it really worth spending all that money just to get a nice island and a better shaped kitchen? What else can go in the return section (the dining room doors are pretty much flush with the boundary wall so we can’t have the kitchen on that side really)?
