You could check rightmove for other houses on your road with the same footprint/layout and see if anyone’s done anything interesting?
Any idea whether the green walls are structural or not? Could be useful to take out these bits on the right to square up the room.
Then for loo potential - worth also thinking about turning that whole side into a utility of sorts, chuck a washing machine in there too? When we got the keys to our place the downstairs loo was right at the back here next to the window, which you could do to then use the understairs part as storage? (he says, having moved said loo under the stairs…)
Ikea or DIY kicthens’ online planners also a good shout for playinf about with cabinet/worktop layouts too.

That's not a bad idea actually, not something I'd thought about! I have no idea if that wall is structural but worth finding out. My only concern with adding a utility is that it seems like it would take a fair bit of space from the already fairly small kitchen. Whilst it'd be nice to have the washing machine etc tucked away somewhere, any utility room that would fit in the space would be tiny and would only really be able to fit a washing machine/drier and not much else. I'm sort of thinking that just spending the extra on a quiet washing machine and having it hidden in a cabinet where the sink is currently might lead to less dead space.
We've had a quick look on Rightmove but houses seem to turn over fairly slowly on that road for some reason. It's quite an old demographic and a lot of people seem to have been there since before Rightmove was even a thing!

Theresa chance that was a corridor originally. The horizontal green wall could be a partition?

I'm vaguely thinking about renovating my kitchen, not for a couple of years yet at least though. Any tips for getting ideas in place and starting on the planning? It won't be anything too radical, the bigger jobs will be moving the sink and replacing and changing the layout of the cabinets. I guess the biggest job will be turning the 2, shit bits of storage space circled in to one bigger space, accessed from the hallway. Will either be more useful storage or if funds allow, maybe a downstairs loo (can probably put that off for a while though).
The only similar work I've done before was renovating the bathroom but that was really straightforward and the layout didn't change at all due to the size of the room.
