Thoughts on kitchen diner

[nick9one1]

I'm in the process of buying a house and have found a nice detached home built in the 1930's.

The only problem is I dont like the small kitchen and separate dinging room.

Looking at the floorplan and picture, what is the complexity and rough cost of creating a kitchen diner by removing the partitioning wall? The cooker also seems to have what almost looks like a chimney breast around it.

If it is possible and not too costly, I guess the next step would be to get a builder in for a viewing.

Excluding the cost of a new kitchen, I'd reckon you would pay £5k-£10k

We've just done something similar at home except I turned the useless connie into a proper extension.
So now we have the dining table in the old connie and lots of room for the wife to fill with clutter.

The wall knock out and steel beam and making good alone, will set you back about £3k. The rest will depend upon design etc.

By ripping down and discarding, then a rebuild? Or re-using it in some way? Am interested from this end! Ta.

We stripped out the polycarb roof and all the UPVC and glass down to the dwarf wall. Re built on the same footprint with a window, a French set and a vaulted roof. I exposed the footings and were deemed good by BC ( I did them previously).
