Hi,
I've recently bought this property to rent out. It's a 3 bed, 3 story mid terraced house with a lounge on the 1st floor. I'm trying to convert the downstairs to more functional kitchen and dining room. The previous owners seemed to be happy with just a small fridge and freezer separately (under the counter). I'd like to turn it into a breakfast bar and instead add a full size fridge and freezer. I'm trying to do it on a budget so don't want to consider any major layout changes.
Have any of you have a similar layout and could advise how you dealt with it? I've checked online but couldn't find any similar layouts to get an inspiration from.
Green is a dinning table, blue is where I thought of putting the fridge, red is the kitchen peninsula

Thanks!!

If you're renting it out I'm not sure it's worth making any changes.

It would be v annoying having to walk around a breakfast bar to get to the fridge.

If you could take out the peninsula entirely, that would work better. Depends if the floor was laid before or after the kitchen was installed I guess?

For a rental, I would not be making any major changes to that kitchen. Honestly, you would not believe how much damage tenants can do - our last ones left literal holes in walls, spilt oven cleaner on the wooden floor in the bedroom (upstairs, no reason whatsoever to take oven cleaner up there), and trashed the wooden worktop.

That kitchen looks perfectly functional, don’t replace it until you need to. Which probably won’t be long.

Don’t do major changes. I agree with others regarding tenants. They had a massive mess and damage to property. It’s not worth the cost to renovate

I can see exactly why the under counter fridge and freezer are where they are.
Please don't take the fridge out of the kitchen! That would be incredibly annoying when cooking - or even making a cup of tea to drink at the breakfast bar.
And adding to that, if you have a diningroom table, do you need a breakfast bar? I'm guessing you'd keep the backboard, so it wouldn't be for social reasons, as you'd have your back to the kitchen.
