It seems odd to me too. The previous owner of our house was an Orthodox Jew and, as per, put up an extension with a second kitchen in it. I don't recall our lender batting an eyelid, however the mortgage was approved many years ago. We, gentiles with no use for it, removed the second kitchen shortly after moving in. Is the lender getting windy about the kitchen per se ,or is it bothered by the basement conversion as a whole?0

A basement with plumbing and a sink would make for a great darkroom. Fit a couple of suitable (red) safe lights, job done.Petriix said: but it seems trivial to remove the cooker and just call it a utility room (or storage, whatever).
Her courage will change the world.
Treasure the moments that you have. Savour them for as long as you can for they will never come back again.2 -
Just take the 20k hit, before the buyer finds somewhere else.0

Surely it's an art studio? Sink for your brushes and watercolours etc, cooker for batik pots, boiling your dyes etc. Just fit it out with some easels and canvases and there you go. I would love to have an area like that as my studio.2
