Looking For ideas on how to make the kitchen bigger - even if I was to knock the wall down between kitchen and lounge I’m not sure it would work.

with the bathroom, I would knock down the wall between bathroom and toilet making it one as such which I think will be better.

thirdly, unfortunately it has storage heating ! Does this mean making sure the property has gas access and getting central heating ?

TIA

Is this a house you are buying?

I would block off the two doors into the kitchen and take out the wall between the kitchen and dining room. Without the doors you can use more wall space for counters and cupboards. You could even extend the surfaces or an islsnd on wheels slightly into the dining room to make a breakfast bar if wanted.

This is what I would do. K for kitchen, d for dining obviously!

I haven't marked it on but I would reinstate the wall between living room and (former) dining room, and block off door out of (former) kitchen so that the conservatory opens from (new) kitchen.

Or actually, with doors in kitchen blocked on both sides I might keep that as kitchen but extending units across to the doors opening onto the conservatory. I would also convert the pantry into a small wc accessed from the conservatory.

Whatever you do…don’t knock down the wall to the conservatory…you’ll freeze!

I would get rid of the conservatory, build a full width extension in its place, make that a kitchen diner and keep the current kitchen, which would be part of the k/d for a utility or pantry corner. Or maybe a toilet.

And definitely knock the toilet and bathroom into one.

We have 2 separate reception rooms. But made the large rear reception the kitchen. We blocked up the door to the reception room and knocked down the dividing wall. Old kitchen is the new dining (which extends into the kitchen area a little when needed).

Like this

Separate loo is useful when you have small kids or more people living in the house.

Separate loo is only any use if you can add a hand basin in with the loo. Otherwise you use the loo and you have dirty hands while someone else is in the bath.
Could a loo + basin be fitted under the stairs?

Don’t knock the wall down between bathroom and toilet unless you have another toilet in the house. Nothing worse than just getting into the bath for a nice soak and then someone needs the toilet!

if funds allow id remove the conservatory and put a full width extension on for a large kitchen diner.

Thanks so much for everyone’s responses, great ideas I would never had of thought of so thank you … yes liking the idea of extension in place of the conservatory but not sure if it will cost too much so great to see all options
