FLOOR

The boiler is in with the cloaks cupboard

Outer lobby is an old fashioned idea, a dumping ground, an unusable room, generally this plan shows old fashioned use of space, small rooms, too many doors

No connection from kitchen to the lounge The window is not central as its positioned to look good from the outside The island is a maximum of 600mm wide

There is no where in this hallway to position a console table with lamps creating a nice entrance

Not wide enough to accommodate a hob The walkways between the island & perimeter is limited to 900mm Both the hob & the sink is against the wall

The utility is small and can only be accessed via the dining room through a door

A summary, an old fashioned kitchen design which is too small and ineffective for a house selling for 650k The dining room is in the wrong place, it is a transit room between the kitchen & the lounge & will become another dumping ground There is no visual impact upon entering the living space from the hall
