We had the architect in on Monday and he described the kitchen as “not functional”. He did say yes we could move the kitchen to the wall but thinks it’s better if we can knock down the walls to make a bigger room. He will be back next week to take measurements and will draw up plans. We did...

Apologies @Bronte balance approx €250k outstanding, monthly payment of €1436 (max 10% of monthly payment allowed). 20 years remaining, 4 year fix at 1.9% expiring Oct 2026 Ages 37 and 38 with 3 kids 10,8 and 2 We’re not set on moving just brainstorming. We’re in a good enough spot at the...

@Premos the extension will not eat into our current garden space because we are extending to match the length of the current kitchen. I suppose if we don’t do it we will always consider doing it (if that makes sense). I’m so bad at design/imagining things if they’re not in front of me.

@DannyBoyD washer and dryer are stacked in the utility at the moment. We have an architect coming on Monday so we may get ideas from him and be able to visualise a different set up.

@RedOnion Some people have their fridge in the dining area, another has a breakfast bar at the end, while my next door neighbor got rid of the utility but still has the same issue of work surface and storage space. There are about 10 or less houses built this way as the others are 3 bed. The...

@RichInSpirit there is a bedroom on top of the kitchen area but the area where the sofa is situated has nothing on top (ie it sticks out).

Thanks everyone for taking the time to look at the pics. I was catching up on my sleep (working last night). I will read and reply to the comments.

Thanks so much for the replies. It is a very small kitchen hence my earlier comment about moving, we have no dishwasher and struggle with a place for the bins. There is no shower in the downstairs loo. I did suggest knocking down the utility wall will give us more room as we will have more wall...

Oh no! @Brendan Burgess can you grant permissions to view the above images please? Thanks

Almost everyday I have the toaster in the press Literally have no wall space on the kitchen side. The tiny utility houses a chest freezer and has been turned into a mini pantry with shelves. I'd rather not change schools as 10 year old is going into 5th class and 8 year old into 3rd class...

@Leo @callybags @David_Dublin @Premos @Silversurfer @Horatio @Flybytheseat @DannyBoyD apologies for tagging everyone, I have uploaded a couple of pics and woulf like to hear your thoughts again. Thanks

I have a pic the house plans posted on the thread below (I'll probably get a telling off from @Brendan Burgess but that was the only way I could attach a pic), https://www.askaboutmoney.com/attachments/plan-jpg.7820/ https://www.askaboutmoney.com/attachments/kitch-jpg.7821/ (pic of work...

Apologies for reviving an old thread. I am trying to attach a picture on my thread and could only find the attachment symbol that works on this thread.

Thanks for all your replies. Can anyone please tell me how to add an attachment? I used to be able to but I cannot.

@Horatio our counter top has the microwave, kettle, a small coffee maker, a small fruit stand and a Thermomix that’s all. Even taking the oven trays out of the oven leaves us with no work surface.

Thanks for the replies. I have an architect coming over on Monday. I’m still having trouble attaching pictures, will do when I can figure out how to. @Bronte BOI told me that if I move I’ll pay a breakage fee which will be refunded as long as I make my house purchase within 6 months. I get to...

Has anyone had issues attaching pics? I thought it was because I was on my phone, but I'm on my PC and I cannot attach a pic.

I'll post a picture of the plan. I don't think we can reconfigure it but I'll be happy if I am told otherwise

This is one of the reasons we are staying put for now. We have good neighbors but we are attached to a very lovely but noisy neighbor.
