welcome to our obsession but, such a major investment should be considered in relation to all the other rooms (moving the sink is a very small cost to achieve a better result when you're changing everything else and sadly your favourite kitchen may not suit that position.....please post plans for the whole house with basic measurements...there are much cheaper options for a long bench than stone, there seems to be at least 1m depth from the front of the new sink to the window wall where the old sink was built into a bay ..the new arrangement creates lots of wasted space, is the bay window in the old dining area full height? what do you intend to do with the floors, ceilings and bulkhead over the old sink when the walls are removed? look forward to more info

Agree more info is needed, esp overall house plan. Immediately what struck me with kitchen draft plan is that the cooktop is in awkward position relative the sink and fridge. Seems too far away to be really efficient. Look forward to your follow-up.

My rough suggestions, keeping sink and cooktop on reduced depth benchtop with glass splash back between bench top and wall cabinets/range hood concealed. Fridge and extra cabinet could become Wall oven and fridge in that order.

Bench top is 2.7 x 900, with stool, I have 2.700 x 1200 without stools which you could also do by having suggested seating in the Bay window, very exciting project cheers

Love your inlaws kitchen cloudpants, I also have my cook top in my 2700 x 1200 Island and also in my previous house, as you say great when entertaining, bit like a Teppanyaki bar you can flick food at very one and they can top up your wine.

I find that some people are afraid of Island cook tops and as there was plenty of space in front of the window I put both sink and cook top there, great to strain veggies, and access to the left hand opening fridge works well with the sink.

But a big Island can also have a small sink along with the cook top as my previous house.

There's always many ways to do things but with the limited info this was the quickest solution, I would really like to see a banquette setting in the bay window, cheers

Yes,siriuskey, I'm always seeing banquette seating in these situations too! Just love the idea.

Unable to read measurements on your plan could you just list the rooms with the measurements cheers

i have to agree that there are fundamental mistakes being made ...using the existing kitchen position is full of very expensive compromises and wastes so much space ...my suggestions includes a very simple kitchen with enormous island and very simple standard sized cabinetry ...the kitchen cabinet maker will be relieved and the cost should be dramatically less!! the island is 3m long to use your favourite stone bench and consider simple laminates for the working counters, this kitchen has much better connection to the alfresco and the breakfast island has a view of the gazebo..the old sink position could be converted to a drinks bar with servery to the alfresco, the new kitchen extended as family room into the study and the old dining area used as a study with or without the dividing walls which could be easily added as needs change and the old central storage cabinet converted to a pantry all minimising the demolition of walls and ceilings...also unable to read the correct dimensions but there's more than enough space to include everything and the plumber should have no problems extending the water and waste pipes from the laundry to the new sink and dishwasher

Now that we have the whole picture without measurements it appears to make sense to move the kitchen as OK has shown.

I have another idea for you to consider without any measurements to work with. Expand the width of the existing kitchen, ie move your drawn island back 900mm add either a full height wall or one just as high as say the wall oven, This wall will have the fridge,wall oven and pantry cupboards. I can do a 3d drawing to show this better.

The sink in current position along with the cook top and dishwasher, the window could be made into a servery to the alfresco. or the sink and dishwasher could be placed in the large 2.700 x900 island (sorry the quick method I used to draw the island won't allow me to move the small sink

Built in Banquette dining to enhance that beautiful bay window or is it down to the floor?

This new short wall gives privacy from the entrance as well and allows a small computer phone station cheers

And this the best, if you can afford to move the kitchen window in flush with the wall leaving the two small walls to form an out door kitchen and servery.

I have made the island 2700 x 900 to match with the window width.

Pantries extending along part of the window wall, you could add a wall oven within 1 of the 3 x 600 pantries next to the sink.

Wow there are some very clever people on here! Thank you for your inputs. @seriuskey and @oklouise attached is an image with my dimensions as the current floorplan sits (however internal kitchen walls and cupboards near entry being removed) I really dislike being greeted at the entry by a cupboard.

My idea would see; the current kitchen and dining room becoming one large kitchen.

The current lounge rooms becoming the dining room ( parallel with the island bench)

The current family room staying as a family / living room with open study staying to the side.

However as mentioned i've never renovated or build before so I'm loving your input.

@oklouise now you have measurements you will see unfortunately the study is far too small to be the living room. I also don't think the bay window is big enough for banquet dining and as you saw on my other rendering post it's a floor to ceiling window. I've attached a few photos so you can see it better (excuse the half done landscaping - progress!)

thanks!!

the most important points you mentioned in your original post is that this is your first reno and not your forever house so my plans are based on keeping the spaces as flexible as possible without spending too much on major structural alterations and very expensive custom sized cabinetry..my suggestion combines the original family room, kitchen and study into an open plan L shaped kitchen family dining area, with the option to close off the original dining area to create a separate study and keep the original living area as a quieter room...the best way to see if the spaces will function for the purpose you intend is to add scale sized furniture into the spaces with walkways through the rooms...altering the existing kitchen would not be my first choice for function, appearance and value for money when you have more suitable spaces available but there's a lot more house that may need attention and you must check all dimensions and prepare a more accurate plan as the Real Estate Agents' plans are out of proportion and don't include the details for the kitchen and entry...check the length of every wall and the size and position of every window and door and i'd be happy to draw up a more accurate plan that will help HOUZZERS offer more specific suggestions

If you are still wanting to go with a very long Island you could do similar to the photo by making it into 2 islands but done in the your style, Ask your cabinet maker to draw it up for you to see how it fits. This would make the benchtop choice much easier as well.
I did see the Bay Window in your post "Facelift colour scheme for render" and was totally different to what I had in my mind so banquette seating won't work as you said.

What a great kitchen, siriuskey! I really love the symmetry created by the two islands and use of two lots of pendants.

And here's another with twin Islands, much easier to get around and when looking at bench tops cheers

And it would be so easy to fit a little breakfast table and chairs in front of the Bay Window as per this photo cheers

thanks so much for all your input siriuskey and oklouise! Will discuss all of these with my partner and our cabinet maker and see what we can do! Thanks again :)
