We are buying a house with a kitchen that is ok but not huge. Maximising cupboard space (I'd love to be a minimalist but I'm not and if I was I'd have to divorce the hubby and kids as they're clutter magnets) and maximising accessible worktop space is a priority in planning the new kitchen.

The current kitchen is unchanged in over 50 years. I saw corner sinks online and am quite taken with the Carron Phoenix stainless steel corner sink. Google seems to reveal that corner sinks are a marmite love or hate thing. My impression is that a lot of the haters are people who've gone diagonally across the corner, thus making the back of the sink hard to reach. I would go for the normal cupboard shape of 90 degrees.

I find undersink cupboards a pain and corner cupboards a pain so I'm thinking that having a corner sink means I have one less cupboard that I dislike/can't use maximally. Not at all bothered by it being next to rather than in front of the window.

Has anyone else got one? Is access to pipes etc for plumbing probs easy enough? It would be just normal taps, not insinkerators or quookers (sp?).

No we aren't changing it, but will be selling and moving soon I hope.
The carpet shop came to measure today then I have to go and pick out the colour this week, I already picked the style. In two weeks, carpet in and hopefully EA's coming to give us a price.

Yes Kindle, quartz is pricy! So are all worktops except wood or laminate, it seems!
