There's worktops down the opposite wall too
Yeah that's fine remember to be mindful of how much trekking you'd need to do between opposite ends of the room if you lose counter space at the key points (sink, hob).
Also: bloody pianos!

Definitely! Got few budget ideas... Home made island in front cooker for more storage/worktop space. Dining table towards the back corner, out of shot, with some DIY bench seating making sort of snug + some extra chairs. Should allow straightforward prep, sink, cooker, fridge access. All academic till we get there and get a feel for the space though. And discover the wooden worktop is shafted.

@Howard @Bobbo @aggi Thanks for the advice, that's great.
We're going to be on a tight budget after moving so refinishing the worktop, painting cupboards, tiling etc whilst saving to properly redo as funds allow. Roping in some handy friends and family along the way. Mind was wondering about sneaking in rangecooker now and then incorporating into the new kitchen at the later date.
Space wise the picture is deceptive/cropped. There's worktops down the opposite wall too and the current owners have even squeezed in an full size upright piano!
