Here you go, done by me using DIY kitchens. Have been to howdens & b&q, they didn't say much. The base units on the long wall are 800mm pan drawers (each with a shallow & 2 deep). The fridge is to the right, near the oven. The door to the right goes to the utility. The bottom half of the dining area in the old bit of house, the top half is an extension which starts LN 3 weeks (eeeek!!!). The blue coloured in bits are walls. The island/breakfast bar is 1m x90cm and has a metre clearance around 3 sides. The actual measurements may be a few mm out once built but this is definitely plan A. Plan B swaps 2 of the 800mm pan draws for 600s plus 2 x150mm pull out, thus removing 10cm from the overall length.

Is the fridge the bit on the other side of the door to the oven? It seems a long way from anywhere else, I'm thinking getting stuff out to make tea you'll be having to trek across the kitchen a fair bit to put things down. It's not a very clear picture on my tablet so I can't see any numbers clearly and it's cutting it down a bit too.

Hey Liz. I think you've done a great job! Well done you! It's a bit hard to see but is that block in the middle the island worktop? The one thing I really like about my kitchen is that my kid's play area is within eye contact when I'm at the kitchen. Might not be relevant to you but definitely something to think about. Also - I used betterspace.co which I would strongly recommend. They do the design for you and give you a 3D drawing so you can visualise it (I find it really hard to get my head arond technical drawings...). Good luck with your extension!!!

Thanks for your replies, here's a better picture. The fridge is that bit at the bottom right. It's 70cm fridge freezer. It'll have a wine rack up one side & a top box over both. The bit in the middle is an island/breakfast bar.
