Move the kitchen?

[Sensibleandboring]

Hello, I recently had my offer accepted at a (modern) Auction. I'm thinking of relocating the kitchen to the dining room, adding doors to the garden, and demolishing the (plastic) conservatory. The garden is quite small, and the conservatory currently occupies about half of it. Any thoughts or advice on this potential layout renovation? The current kitchen gets it's light source from the door and window at the back.

I’m in the process of moving mine at the moment. Your issue will be drainage for sink, dishwasher etc but you can probably use the toilet’s, assume there is a sink and you have an external drain as well as the toilet soil pipe?

Think off the top of my head I would have an L shape with a bit against the wall adjoining the toilet and then the long external wall . Table then along the wall with the chimney breast.

Another thing to think of are the electrics - what sort of cooker are you going to have ? If gas then you have to work out how to get gas out there. If electric potentially you have to have a spare circuit on your fuse board and get a cable there. Alternatively I think you can get hobs and separate ovens that both plug into a normal 13a socket. Plus you will need more sockets at work top level , plus wiring for extractor fan and a hole in wall to fit it.

Mine is in the process of being fitted as I type, think a wall unit is going up at the moment ! It is going to be lovely and I am pleased to be doing it. It was fairly easy to do mine as the fuse board on the wall directly behind and it is below the bathroom so could go out into drain there.
