Hi Andrew, so are you planning to knock down the wall between the living room and Kitchen? To be honest, creating the kitchen in the narrow space will not give you the ‘benefits’ of open plan.. as there will not be the option to interact with the person dishing out the meals! Have you considered a ‘kitchen-diner-lounge’ plus a more formal living? It just makes it easier to use spaces more efficiently and allowing an ‘escape’ if there are piles of dishes in the kitchen but you really want to switch off and have a drink in the living room! Knowing how you intend to use the space and your way of life would make it easier to work out the layout

How about a home office area? View of the garden and lots of natural light.

1st impression carry the island until your a meter from the 1/2 bath wall. Make it a galley with all base cabinets as drawer bases. Do not try to turn the cabinets along the 1/2 bath wall. consider adding a raised bar of 47 cm with to the dining room side.

Oh wow! Thanks everyone... So so much... I would never have seen some of the things that you have pinpointed. I have already got the cabinet and under cabinet lighting, it was turned off when I took the earlier shots. I totally get the suggestion to remove the cabinets etc near the window but would prefer not too just yet... I am back pocketing that for next year! I will add some items on top of the cabinets, and the artwork that you suggested too in the meantime. The window seat I had in mind was for the living room area, instead of the two seater. Would that look better than the two piece, with colourful cushions, and if so should I add a built I cabinet for the tv (right beside it) in the same painted wood colour as the window seat? Also should I put curtains either side of the window seat if I opt to go with that, or stick just with colourful roman blinds? I will look into fixtures for lights and have already started the fabric hunt for curtains/roman blinds/ cushions etc. Also, what colour would you recommend to accessorise the room with?

As @Slow Coach Ltd. has said, I'm also not sold on the idea to have the kitchen sit in the narrow extension. These things of course always depend on individual preference and lifestyle but you have such a lovely huge space there, it would be ideal for making the kitchen the social hub and heart of the house. I'd turn the narrow section into a reading nook or play area with long built-in storage benches (or an office area as suggested before, in which case you might want to consider adding sliding doors or another type of partition to shut out the kitchen/family noise when needed). Your living room is a great size as well, I'd definitely use it as a proper living room (formal or not). Quick draft below.
