Thank you Mike. I really appreciate this.
Anyway - it's a listed house. The wall that is coming( on e/s side) out has to be put back further out. Although currently there are two windows with one blocked up l. We are reinstating that. There is a porch we are knocking that down. So I'm losing that space but gaining a little more.
The windows will have to be the same as the house/ doors will be made to match. I love the old feel of the house. But I don't do frumpy, cottage style.if you add anything "old" the house looks tired. I live in the kitchen/go in and out all day. The table I make things on. I'm having a skylight to get more light in. Shown in dotted lines.
Some photos to help. Sorry, it's not very clean I've worn away the worktops - everything has fallen apart. It was old when we came here 20 years ago. Like VC I'm short. So I ripped off all the wall units and added shelves.
