You possibly can see from these earlier than images that it’s actually part of the hallway however carved out in a u-shape. It was already set for plumbing with shops for a fridge and an oven.
And this attractive lighting fixture. I imply, I actually ought to have left it 😉 
We had just a little mini fridge on the alternative wall, so fundamental wants have been met, if not completely matted!
