First thought is where is the pantry? Perhaps a full size pantry next to the fridge would look nice and be practical. Second thought is whether you can move the oven over slightly so you get bench top and cupboards both sides so the oven isn’t ‘hanging’ on the edge of the kitchen. Also no space for microwave? Could the fridge wall be a full height wall? :)

I would put a pantry cupboard next to the fridge as well, because you have no top cupboards, and I would also move the stove over a bit and have a bench on either side of the stove, safer if there is pot handles sticking out, or somewhere to put hot stuff, and an extra cupboard as well. Between the fridge and window wall I would also consider having a pantry type cupboard which has all the jug, coffee, toaster power points etc in it which you can close, either doors or like a roll top desk.

Behind the door next the the fridge is a 2.2m x 2,2m walk in pantry which will have the bulk of the kitchen stuff in. The microwave in under the bench next to the stove. I could put a unit next to the stove, but thought it might make it feel weird when you come in the door from the living area and the cabinets start right up to the doorway? I see what you mean about the stove on the end though. Hmm.
In that case can you put a shelf in the pantry the width of the kitchen bench and a couple of plugs?, its amazing how much easier it is if you can store/use items out of the way of the main kitchen, and I actually came back on here to say if you can/do put a cupboard on the outside of the stove consider putting a power point there as well, useful for the vacuum cleaner etc, but out of sight under the edge of the bench.

Good idea to have a bench in the pantry. I will have power in there because I have a small chest freezer that will be in there too. On the kitchen wall between the two main doors I have a double plug that I will use for running a vacuum cleaner. I can't really use that wall for anything as it's the main access from the living area to the master bedroom.
