Unfortunately it's in the kitchen set into a 60x89cm gap in the units, but that's where the replacement needs to go. The door covering it opens from hinges attached to the washing machine and closes with a little magnet to keep it closed.
That's a pretty standard size. And the "built-in" aspect (hinges attached, etc) is called an "integrated" washing machine.
John Lewis have a bunch: https://www.johnlewis.com/browse/electricals/washing-machines-tumble-dryers/washing-machines/integrated/_/N-afhZ1z0rnds?sortBy=priceLow
Anywhere that provides a removal/fitting service should also move the hinges/door/magnets over to the new machine, but it's a pretty easy job to do yourself all in.

As Greenbank says, that's pretty standard size. I'd have a quick check on the depth as there can be a few cm here and there difference on that but most stuff here should do the job:
https://ao.com/l/washing_machines-built_in/1-9/1/I paid for install (I think it was a half price offer) and they did the doors as part of that. It's not overly difficult to do yourself unless the new hinge position overlaps the old one and then it can be a bit awkward.
-
If you don't mind it being on show, most washing machines are 60cm wide and you might have more choice if you go freestanding.

I'm sure youre fine as theres a bit of a gap, but also double check the height.
We had planned to keep an integrated ikea dishwasher for our new kitchen, but it was too tall for the new cabinets.

worth looking at the ao outlet ebay store, sometimes theyt have bargains / have priced them incorrectly

I bought John Lewis' own brand entry level machine about 3 months ago.
It's the first direct drive (as opposed to being belt driven) machine I've owned. I've never witnessed a washing machine that runs as quietly as this one does. Recommended. -
Whatever you go for I'd try to avoid ao - they delievered a faulty machine to me and it took weeks of dreadful customer service calls to get it replaced. I think we went to John Lewis in the end once we got that one refunded.

Need a new washing machine.
Unfortunately it's in the kitchen set into a 60x89cm gap in the units, but that's where the replacement needs to go. The door covering it opens from hinges attached to the washing machine and closes with a little magnet to keep it closed.
Does anyone have a recommendation?
We have two kids so decent capacity and efficiency prefered. But don't have loads to spend right now, so whatever the budget oriented price point is.
Please shout if there is anything non-standard in this setup (I can't actually remember the last time I saw a hidden washing machine in a kitchen so unsure).
Cheers.
