Hi, couple of questions, do you have a wider plan? And Is the fire place working/ being retained?

Hi, thanks for reaching out! this is the only plan I have. Yes, the fireplace is working.

Ok, no worries will do my best with what you have. Couple of initial suggestions. Sink to be moved away from the wall, at least slightly as what is shown will be difficult to build and seal properly. Is there a possibility of removing the partition between the kitchen and living room? You could then drag the kitchen counter out forming an island and add some additional seating which may make a better connection between the two spaces (this will depend on wall construction of that partition). The fire place I mentioned, because often existing stacks no longer being used as a chimney for a fireplace can be used to vent above a hob or at least utilised effectively some other way. However if this is to be retained then that of course won’t be possible. Does the room have any windows?

Thanks again!

The door (half glass) is the back entrance to the house from a patio, that, and the living room windows are the light points of the kitchen- so a bit dark.

It would not be possible to remove the partition on the left. just on the right, next to the kitchen furniture. (current image)
it might be possible to open a small window next to the door though.

Hi Wumi, thanks a lot for your proposal!
installing a range cooker would be nice, but the fireplace is something that we would like to keep, as it is large and cozy.
Where would you put the fridge?

Would this make a better snug ? And relocate kitchen to a larger room that’s not got the cosy fireplace ?

I’d put a fridge freezer in top left or bottom left corner. But thinking about what would sed about the fireplace, I think OnePlan question is valid. Will you really get to enjoy the fireplace in that space if you convert it to a kitchen?
