Worth moving the light switch/cost??

This is something that's really bugging me that I don't remember noticing during viewings...

The kitchen light switch (only one,annoyingly) is positioned on the wall in the only space available for my fridge freezer.The rest of the kitchen is fully covered with units and appliances.

With my fridge freezer being a tall one,I have to shove my hand behind it to turn the blinkin' light on!It also means it's standing further away from the wall than I'd normally have it!

So,I'm wondering whether to get it moved and where to.

Unfortunately,the fridge space ends practically at the door that opens to the dining room so moving it over the one or two inches from the frame won't make much difference.

Obviously,it can't go the other side of the fridge:rotfl:

The other side of the door frame has units,so it may get knocked if moved over there.The only other option would be near the door coming in from the hallway.

IF I get it moved what would be best and how expensive would it be?

Or shall I try to learn to live with it (I honestly hate it) or frustratingly buy a smaller fridge?:rotfl:

You may like to consider:
1. Repositioning the light into the side of the wall cabinet
2. Changing the switch for a pull cord fitting mounted in the ceiling

A photo or two would help us to better understand the layout.

You could get an architrave switch fitted in the door frame.

I did wonder about a pull cord.

I can't give my pics at the mo as using phone but can show you neighbours floor plan if that helps?There are a few differences but the kitchen layout is practically the same although the dining room door opens towards the living room partitioning wall and the units that go up to that door on the long side is where the fridge freezer goes
