We are starting with a 5 bedroom detached house. The existing dining room is quite small and the kitchen has so many doors that its space is not especially usable.
We have had an architect in for an initial discussion and she suggested combining the existing dining room and kitchen (i.e. knocking down the wall between), siting the kitchen in the existing dining room and turning the existing kitchen into the dining part of a modern kitchen.
This suits our lifestyle great, would allow the creation of quite a 'wow' kitchen-diner, but I'm concerned about the effect of no dining room on the value of the house.
What do you think? Worth doing?
TIA,
Pete
