I'd like your opinions please.
My brother is selling what was our family home (former LA property) he has turned the back room into a lovely large kitchen with central island, this leads into a conservatory/dining area and out onto South facing garden. What was the small kitchen is now a separate utility with cupboards, sink and white goods there is a loo leading off.
One agent that came to value says the utility is a waste of space and that he should have knocked through to incorporate the old kitchen into the new one.
I think it works well as it is. .

Although I'm happy where I am, I have looked at a few flats currently on the market. Don't like new-builds so have concentrated on conversions of some lovely old buildings locally.
Where developers could have made some beautiful spacious flats, they've opted for this living/dining/kitchen open plan which I really don't like.
I want to be able to sit down with visitors after a meal with pots n pans and kitchen chaos firmly behind a door.
It reminds me too much of my gran's house - kitchen area in the corner, table in opposite corner and 2 armchairs plus tv by the fire (while the large tidy sitting-room was for visitors and rarely used).
I'd rather pay more for one of 6 roomy flats than the lower price for one of 8 squeezed into the same space!
