I had to study the floorplan a bit to work out what you meant. But, I see it now. If that was my home I think I'd remove that door altogether and minimise the door jamb. 

Block up the door entirely and make the space into a cupboard accessible from the lounge. Get to squeeze a proper unit in to that corner and more space for wall units.

I was thinking 'pantry'.

It's basically under stairs storage .Just needs to replace the door with a sliding concertina  type or similar. 
That's what i did in my previous house and I had another slider door in the lounge for bigger access.
Though either could be blocked up depending on use.

I'd like to tell you you're missing something.

I guess your father told you you're not. 

Although Dr Feelgood did hail from there who were rather good.

2 bedroom semi-detached house for sale in Whiting Avenue, Toton, NG9 (rightmove.co.uk)

Remember this pink house from a few months ago? 

It's now had a whitewash - on the outside at least. Same link.

A flat in a grade 2 listed castle. Beautiful flat, but the service charges are a bit eye watering for Swansea. This place used to be a hall of residence for the students at the University there. It was an amazing place to study with the beautiful park next door, though the boys got the castle, the girls got the 60's tower blocks behind. 2 bed flat for sale in Mill Lane, Blackpill, Swansea SA3, £215,000 - Zoopla

My father had fond memories. He was a bit disappointed when he returned in the 70s and found that his father's shop had been knocked down for a public toilet. (I may have details confused, I think it was the shop not the house.)

That really is nice. But, the service charge plus council tax is probably approximately what I'm paying for full rent and council tax for my current 3 bed semi.

A good example of why there is no money to be made refurbishing some properties.

It looks worse on Street View. I'm pretty sure I have the right house, but the colour of the shed and fence is different. And, it doesn't look good. How much margin can there be on an asking price of £105,000 to do all that refurbishment? 

I'm thinking that it's no 63. https://www.google.com/maps/@56.1130458,-3.785581,3a,36y,250.96h,93.33t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sLX7wXawuMejsXZQbJZMfog!2e0!6shttps://streetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com/v1/thumbnail?panoid=LX7wXawuMejsXZQbJZMfog&cb_client=maps_sv.tactile.gps&w=203&h=100&yaw=353.75748&pitch=0&thumbfov=100!7i13312!8i6656?entry=ttu
