Definitely. My original kitchen was developer’s kitchen —ie, it photographed well but did not function. The only place to put a table in the kitchen itself would have been in front of the back door, which is itself a natural thoroughfare from the open plan living room. Now I have a lovely breakfast bar/peninsula facing the brightest part of the kitchen, and I can easily spend hours there over breakfast, brunch or coffee. Dinner I tend to eat in front of the tv, and when I’ve visitors the main table in the dining room is used.

Beautiful!

It's great that you're planning a renovation and have outlined your requirements clearly. Here's a breakdown of what you should consider:1. Electrical Work*: Given the issues with the lighting and the need for rewiring, it's wise to tackle this first, especially since you'll be redesigning the kitchen layout. You can work with an electrician to plan for any future lighting needs in the kitchen.2. *Plumbing*: Investigate the stopcock situation. If you don't have one or if it's inaccessible, consider installing a new one. It's essential for any plumbing work you'll be doing, especially if you're replacing fixtures in the kitchen or bathroom.3. *Cat Flap*: While the cat flap idea is feasible in theory, the feasibility depends on the specifics of your wall structure and the presence of pipes. You may need to consult with a contractor or structural engineer to assess the viability and any potential complications.4. *Floor Replacement*: Since you'll be doing significant work in the kitchen and possibly the bathroom, replacing the floor should be done after the electrical and plumbing work to avoid any damage.5. *Plastering and Ceiling Repair*: Once the old units are removed and any necessary structural work is completed, you can proceed with plastering and repairing the ceiling.6. *Kitchen Design and Installation**: With the groundwork laid out, you can focus on designing your new kitchen layout and selecting appliances. Make sure to allocate a portion of your budget for this, along with the building and electrical work.Regarding your budget, £30-£33k seems reasonable for the scope of work you've described, including kitchen design, building/electrical work, and other renovations. However, it's essential to get quotes from contractors or tradespeople to ensure it aligns with your expectations.Overall, starting with the electrical and plumbing work and then proceeding with other renovations in a logical sequence will help streamline the process and minimize disruptions. Consultation with professionals for specific tasks like the cat flap installation will ensure feasibility and safety.
