We have quite a similar sized kitchen that we just installed. Actually it's very similar apart from all the colours are reversed! Freestanding fridge freezer is just out of shot on the right.
Yes, corner cupboard are a pain, but our sink was already in this location and I like having a window behind the sink.
We only had one plug socket, so chased in one on the opposite surface before the new units went in. We don't have a microwave, but we still find the odd occasion where a couple of extra sockets at the near end of the long worksurface would be handy.
I don't find the top units annoying, I would if they were over the sink. Under unit lighting is definitely a major plus though.

Nice! yeah that is remarkably similar. We've actually decided to go with a different colour, dark blue, for the bottom units. Turned out that my understanding of 'sage green' wasn't the same as paint manufacturers, but I am colourblind so this happens with some regularity.
In our old place we had cupboards above the sink and I often broke things while removing them from the sink with too much enthusiasm

Thanks - i was a bit on the fence about chasing in pipework, nothing is hidden away at the moment.
Storage is a major issue for us so any gains are good. This is why the U-shape, the old kitchen didnt have top cupboards on both sides and we have far too many cooking gadgets for that. It's not a big room, we had looked into knocking through to the dining room but it was going to be wayyyy too much project for us.
Luckily there were no major horrors uncovered as the old kitchen came out, although it wasnt attached to the walls. Now I'm scared there was a reason for that and the walls are made of wet cake or something
