Offer accepted- refurbishment query

[Tblock1800]

Hi all, just after some advice and potential estimates of costing really. We have had an offer accepted on a property and looking to do some improvements etc once all goes through. In particular we love the kitchen and wouldn’t change any of it, but if you look inside the kitchen to right opening there’s a nice long utility room ( not seen in pics) but we feel knocking the wall down which separates the utility from the dining area would not only open the whole area into one big open plan space, but would also be able to accommodate a dream of ours which has always been to have a lovely island in the centre of the kitchen with stools etc. what do you think costing etc would be including an island installation? Roughly

Sorry, maybe I misunderstood which walls we are speaking about.

I was speaking about the internal walls, the short one and longer one, they were built in the living room to create a utility room.

All suggestions are welcome so thanks for the input. I'm heading down there tomorrow to measure up and check space between wall in the kitchen for a small peninsula to smarten the kitchen up and will measure front garden and get quotes on building a drive.

Oh ok, the wall between kitchen and utility is structural and near impossible to remove.

The wall between utility and dining room will still likely be structural. Its the main wall span running front to back supporting the bathroom and likely the attic beams. The utility/dining room one could possibly be removed with an RSJ but it will require a structural engineer.

I highly doubt its just a stud wall they built to section off the room as it directly alignes with the walls above it and only wall running that way have a 2 story stacking.
