Having the sink on the breakfast bar removes valuable space and in turn diminishes the effectiveness of the bar. Could you explore the possibility of placing the sink where the hob is, and moving the hob to the island with an overhead extractor bulkhead?

The photo below is an example of an overhead extractor bulkhead with a hob beneath.

I would do this completely differently. I would bring the American F/F to the beginning of the wall its on as I don't think it looks right in the middle of a run. I would then put the hob where the f/f is and the oven housing to the left of the door. I would then put the sink where the hob is. Hope that makes sense

We have to agree. If it is possible, swapping the sink with the hob makes most sense, with a suspended extractor hood.

If that's not preferable i'd consider adding more counter space with a J shaped counter top, moving the sink to where the newly added return would be. Any splashing would be confined to the kitchen this way and you'd maximise the counter space on the breakfast bar.

Be advised that doing this would eat into floorspace and the run off for drainage from the sink should also be considered

.

I also think your fridge should move to the end of the run of units, it looks odd where it is. The extension end as it then won't obstruct the door. If you then had the sink on that same wall it could potentially make plumbing the water cooler / ice maker of the fridge easier? (That's supposing your fridge freezer will be like the one shown). Are you limited to gas / water etc positions? If not I would play around with different layouts etc until you are happy. A reputable company like benchmarx should be able to move things around until you have your kitchen just how you want.

Reshuffle of appliances agreed. Hob on breakfast bar makes much morr sense than the sink. You could fit a vertical clear glass splash saver if you really think the sofa would need some defence.

We have lots of sinks for your choice.

The Fridge/Freezer needs to go between the two doors and the sink can then go where the F/F is currently located. The ovens can go underneath the hob - or change to a range oven with integrated hob. It might work better to place the sink where your hob is located and your hob & ovens (or range) at the other side where there's a longer run. Breakfast bars should always be left clear as they are the space you'll use the most - consider getting a pop up power socket put at the end to plug in small appliances. I'd also look at having a rounded end unit on the end of the run near that corner door as it looks a bit tight for space and you might find you catch yourself on a sharp corner there.
