Aargh! Wrote a long post and it didn’t save!
Now third time I am trying to post this.
Name changed.
We see having a side extension (bit in pink brackets) to house a utility, pantry and boot room.
Is the utility big enough to house a washing machine and have space for a clothes horse or two? I would like to have a broom cupboard and recycling in there if poss.
What do you think of the L-shapes kitchen area? Is the “L” too small? Will we have enough counter space either side to put things that we are using while we cook, e.g. seasoning, spoons etc?
We have a larder fridge and larder freezer - so wider than an American freezer. Is the “L” too small to house them both as well as the oven?
Not sure the glazed doors need to be so big. If standard size it would give us more room along the wall for cupboards.
Would these cupboards be too far from the island/kitchen to be really part of the kitchen? Would it be a PITA to have the fridge/freezer there? Or a breakfast pantry (would love one of those).
Not sure about the fixed low furniture - idea is to zone the area on the other side as a living area (or dining room). Would a breakfast bar & associated coffee machine be too noisy so close to living area?
I have wandered round with a tape measure but I just can’t visualise it!
Any other comments welcome. This is our first time doing anything like this and scared of making costly mistakes or having major regrets.
Thank you!
