currently no chance we'll move out
That's the main factor. If you spend £10k and knock £10k off the sale value, it's only £3 a day if you live there for another 20 years.
If you’re staying and you like the idea of opening the space out, do it. If in the distant future when you decide to sell there is a massive drop in value/sell ability then put it back in. Fashion and tastes change so just do what you want for you.
