I can see that you're quite committed to looking at your washing machine, so why not?
Rodolfo is right, you seem to have space for deeper work surface. That's a good thing.
I'd love some more space behind the sink to make cleaning easier behind tap.
Also more space for toaster, kettle, KitchenAid, rice cooker, espresso machine, grinder, Thermomix and air fryer.
c.h.e.-
It’s a freestanding washing machine but it’ll have a door covering it, matching the rest of the kitchen. I’m not some kind of drum-ogling freak.
@chrisbmx116 The bathroom is next door to our bedroom, so it’s deffo not going in there. No utility room either; like en-suites, I don’t believe in them.

If you're doing it well, these should go into room high cupboards only to see the light of day when used.
With exception for the espresso machine.
A friend of mine has it built in all Mi€I€ believe in his kitchen. Came with the house/mansion. Coffee, oven, whatever, double fridge all in a row in full height cabinets. Very nicely done.

Thanks, v top tips there.
Gonna move the dishwasher to the left of the sink. What's wrong with the washing machine in the island? Note: the washing machine door will be facing to the left, towards the windows/garden. This way, there'll be plenty of depth for the door to be left ajar if needed, and to swing more than 90deg open.
ASHP plant cupboard is incontrovertible, under stairs is way too low to fit all the gubbins in, and has leccy meter etc in it. We also need it as coats/shoes/hoover storage.
Dining table is tucked by the bench seating corner for obvious reasons.
Island breaks up the space, and adds necessary cabinet volume and integrated bookshelves.
Did a planning session with IKEA this morning, the dude had a few good ideas involving drawer configurations and larder design.
