Where is your kitchen situated?

My kitchen is at the side of the house and looks out onto a road so I can keep an eye on all the comings and goings. If I could choose though I think I would like to look out over the back garden - then I could watch all the birds coming and going instead!

My kitchen is at the back of the house and I love it, but it looks out onto a garden I hate. In our last house, the kitchen looked out across the garden towards a large tract of woodland - lovely at any time of the year.

My kitchen diner is in the middle. There's a sitting room/snug at the front and an extension/conservatory/lounge at the back. I can see through to the garden from the kitchen sink and table. I think it's ideal as I feel in the midst of family gatherings and I'd rather see the garden than the road.

Our kitchen is at the back overlooking the garden. The sink is below a large window so we spend a lot of time watching the antics of birds and squirrels on the bird feeder. We can also keep an eye on our two cats and any visiting cats from neighbouring gardens.There are foxes too that do a twice daily tour looking for food and sometimes sit and snooze in the sun with the cats. Would a bird feeder provide something of interest in your garden annsixty. Molly permitting of course!

Our kitchen is at the back, but when we extended, the sink was turned 45°, so that we now look at a wall. The windows are at the end of a long kitchen, and I would love to have a door into the garden instead. But we don't want the upheaval.
Like Gillybob, I am waiting for the big Lottery win, (only £25.00 again).
If we won a large amount, I would send her DH for his private operation.

Our kitchen is at the front and I enjoy watching the comings and goings of neighbours and walkers. I sometimes comment that so and so is home or leaving or doing something (while I'm cooking etc.) and my OH quips 'have you put it in the book?' . (I'm not really nosy, just interested .

My kitchen is at the back of the house and overlooks our 80ft garden, so we aren't overlooked.

My dad lives at the top of a small cul-de-sac and is the worst curtain twitcher ( despite him ticking mum off for it when she was alive)

My stepfather too gillybob. It used to exasperate my mum.

She said to him once ‘if there’s such a thing as an after life you’ll be coming back as a bluddy vase!’

Mine is at the back of the house with french doors opening into the large conservatory that goes right across the back of the house.

we have a large kitchen/diner with seating area at the back of the house in total it has around 26feet of windows so it always bright.Its view is the garden a high hedge and a green area beyond before a fairly busy road.The hedge is quiet just now but its like a village from spring onwards with nests the length of it and wee heads popping out at different hights.Keeps the GC amused ,or did when they were wee now our cats are getting out it might be hard work keeping them away from it

My kitchen is at the front and looks out onto the village green and beyond that fields in the lovely Cherwell Valley. A road runs in front of the village green but apart from commuting time it is quiet. It is a small village so not much activity but plenty of dog walkers on the green.

The kitchen and the front of the house faces north so can be a bit gloomy in the winter. I wasn't sure about a kitchen at the front but I like my sitting room being at the back where it is totally private.

Our tiny kitchen is at the front. It overlooks our front garden and communal landscaping. We’ve put a bird bath and feeders out there so always something to look at. In the summer we have chairs under the kitchen window where we can sit with lunch or coffee without trailing through to the back. The location means no one passes by unless they are coming to see us. We aren’t BBQ people so no worries there. It takes no time to carry a plate through to the back garden if we want to eat out there. It’s only the third front facing kitchen we’ve had and I’m enjoying having a window on the world.

Our kitchen is at the front of the house. It looks out onto a small front garden beyond which is a fairly busy road, traffic wise. As we are on the outskirts of town we don't see many pedestrians.
Sadly our view of the sea is obscured by a high concrete sea defence.

Our kitchen is at the back.

DH keeps bird feeders topped up.
I love watch the birds and their antics whilst working in the kitchen or sitting in the conservatory.

I needed to have a back facing kitchen when we had young children.
I could work happily whist keeping an eye on the children.

Now I need to watch our grandchildren playing safely in the back garden whilst in the kitchen.

Also easy to hand healthy of course snacks and drinks, icecream via the kitchen window. ?

But my favourite kitchen view is from my brother’s house in Canada. It overlooks the Pacific. You can look out and see sea eagles waiting for salmon and seals sunbathing. It makes my squirrels look a tad dull.☹️

We’ve had two houses with the kitchen at the front and I never liked that situation. I could not keep an eye on small children playing in the garden and was afraid of meeting people’s eyes if they peered in to see if the kitchen was tidy. Showing my anxiety there! House for the last 30 years has a garden facing kitchen which I much prefer. You look out over the garden and see the bird feeders and the flowers in summer. Plus it’s so convenient for taking stuff out when eating in the garden, be it light lunch or BBQ.?

Our current kitchen was built as an extension with the window overlooking the garden. I chose a big window rather than more wall space for cupboards as I much prefer to look outside than spend time with my pots and pans.

AC have kitchens at front of their homes and seem happy with the arrangement.

Our kitchen is at the back of the house looking out onto the garden. Part is in the conservatory, so full of plants.

It is delightful most of the time annsixty, although when we moved here we thought we'd never get used to the early morning squawking of the geese, the late night Friday and Saturday chucking out of the pub across the river to the tune of "YMCA" not to mention the rowing club's summer boat races accompanied throughout as the boats near the finishing line to the theme of "Hawaii Five O" blaring out

Well I'm in a suburb of Birmingham MissA but we just happen to have a canal at the back!

Oh, I'm quite envious now, hearing about lovely French doors and views.
Comparison is the thief of joy (I think that's the saying)

Done not fine !

Our kitchen is at the back of the house. It's very small but nicely fitted out. It overlooks the garden and a little bridge over the canal.
