Please help! Dithering on a house due to kitchen size

We have been house searching for over a year now. Finally found one which ticks most of our boxes. It is a really lovely house. However, the only negative is the size of the kitchen and the layout.

Kitchen is 10ft by 9ft. I have attached the floor plan for the kitchen. There is a separate utility room, which is off the kitchen. Therefore, no issue with washing machine/dryer space. There is also a storage room in the kitchen which can be used as a pantry.

The thing that is niggling is how we could make the best use out of the kitchen. The layout doesn’t seem too great as there is also a radiator to the wall on the right? We will need a dishwasher and I was hoping for an integrated bin and eye level oven and microwave but this doesn’t seem possible? An American fridge doesn’t seem at all possible either, which in the grand scheme of things is no big deal really. Would you be able to cope with this kitchen size? How would you go about having the layout to make the most of the kitchen? As apart from this it is a beautiful house and we are hoping it will be our forever house but maybe with an extension at some point in the future.

Any help and input will be greatly appreciated.

Also, who should we be looking at for kitchen designs/layouts? We are not too far from DIY kitchens so once we have completed we will go and visit. Have heard good things about them on here but am aware they don’t do designs. Thinking ahead really as don’t want to be overwhelmed by leaving it too late.

My advice would be to live with it for a while before designing.

You can make a note about current good and bad layout.
