Is this the tiniest kitchen ever?

Who designed that then? Someone who doesn't eat at home, I guess.

Trying to think where the washing machine would go, very small indeed

Ours was a similar size in our old house. Didn't have a full size fridge (we had a tabletop fridge!) let alone a washing machine we knocked through!

I once rented a flat where the kitchen was about half the size. I managed fine. It's the open plan part that would put me off.

The price of that?! Jesus

Mines about the same although the space on the left is the main hallway and I do have some wall cupboards, less worktop space though!

Why have the toilet door open like that? I suppose you could knock it through to the back of the garage and have space for a utility and toilet there?

I guess the downstairs toilet was put in at a later date when it was ‘modernised’ at the expense of kitchen space. Also made worse by making it open plan, if wall between kitchen and dining area you would at least be able to have wall cupboards. Terrible layout.

The loo so close to the kitchen is awful. I guess you could multi task.

Ridiculous layout.

I rented a flat with a scandinavian front room which is basically kitchen to one side, living room to the other but no wall or door in between.

How on earth is that house over £350,000!! Our first house was similar in size although not lay out and it was 135,000!!

It's workable. Especially given the larger open-plan space.

I'm more concerned about the loo directly off it, tbh. I thought that had been banned by building regulations.

Our house was much the same footprint but the downstairs loo was in the porch meaning we had a massive U shaped kitchen instead.

I'm not entirely sure that would pass building regulations.

Actually looking at the back outside photograph it looks as if they changed the location of the kitchen, previous position of patio doors has been bricked up. And I assume there was a hallway where the front entrance was.
Personally I would be really concerned about how structurally safe it is having knocked all the internal walls down.

Whoever added the toilet made a big mistake. They've shrunk the kitchen, but also - who wants a toilet opening directly into the living space?

I know the area well, this estate in Witney is one of the cheaper areas in the town! Parts of it flood!

My kitchen is tiny. 2 base units and a cooker. 2 wall units. THREE doorways. But we are constrained by the walls and we do benefit from a pantry (one of the doorways) where the fridge is, as well as having the washer and drier and freezer in the utility in a garage.

It is ridiculous that they have crammed the kitchen into that space when there are no walls limiting it and where they could have got rid of the toilet, or not put one in, and made better use of the space.

That’s not so bad at all! You should see some studio flats in London
There’s space for a proper fridge freezer there, I expect washing machine is probably in the garage. It’s open plan so you’d have your dining table right there and could have some freestanding cupboards. There’s bloody loads of space.

The price is ridiculous, but so are all the prices in the area.

It's not that small.

My kitchen is smaller than that race to the bottom

In an L shape I have a hob, washing machine, and fridge all the same height. Top of the fridge is used as a 'worktop'. I have one corner of actual worktop space, then the other part of the L is just the sink and draining board

I'd take a photo but a major unexpected additional downside of the micro-kitcehn is that it constantly looks messy and cluttered with a single mug on the draining board and a jar of coffee left out

There’s space to add more units and worktop. Washing machine in the garage. I’d hate the entire ground floor being open plan though.

Same here. I thought you had to have more than one door between a kitchen and toilet? Of course it may have changed over the years, but I really wouldn’t fancy having a loo that close to my cooking area.

I thought you couldn't have a loo open into a kitchen? It's so gross!
