Not having a door

water-resistance

A large window, three doorways and a disused chimney
breast meant space for kitchen cabinetry was limited.
A generous peninsula provides plenty of storage and
prep space, without obstructing access to the adjacent
dining room. Popping the sink in the corner wasn’t ideal,
but there’s a back-up sink plus dishwasher in the utility
room, which helps when the family are entertaining.
