Help with kitchen diner layout

[richatnort]

Afternoon all,

I’m after a bit of help. I'm wanting to knock my kitchen dining room through but I don't know how to go about doing it.

My initial thoughts were to block the door up to the dining room, block the side door as we could just use the front and patio door, take the chimney breast out and also block up the pantry under the stairs as it only got a few shelves and the fuse box / electrics coming into the property in it so pretty pointless keeping.

I've then have my kitchen from the pantry round in a U shape to the patio door with the fridge freezer and another unit next to it for food.

I don't know if there is any other way of doing it or any other suggestions people have. I’ve attached the floor plan below. The grey bit in the kitchen is the pantry.

Ahhh yes probably a good idea! This is a very rough idea of where the worktops, units, appliances and table would go.

If i were to take the chimney breast out i would be able to put the table against the back wall and give us a bit more space to get past.
