    I have to ask: Why Currys? Buy from JL and you will get an extra year's warranty on any w/m. 
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Bag has Indesit instruction book and a U-hook-loop for a washer/washer dryer waste pipe in it... 

    Another pic of understairs with the plywood box removed to expose the pipes would be useful? 
    Likely an easy way to access a CW feed (there is likely to be a supply for boiler filling loop, if not a feed for HW if it's a combi boiler).  There may also be a drain for the boiler condensate to follow??
    Hopefully this sheds a bit more light!

    Many thanks all for your responses so far.

    I presume you won't be doing any of this work yourself? In which case, you just need a plumber to come and have a look-see. 
    You appear to have a power supply and a waste outlet (tho' that needs better access, I'd suggest).
    That leaves a water supply. Do you KNOW what that pipe behind the skirting carries?
    Hot...cold...gas...
    What would you like to achieve? A DW beside the sink, and a WM in that cupboard? If so, almost certainly that's perfectly doable - provided there's enough space.

    Two other possibilities for that pipe behind the skirting board - it's part of the central heating flow/return, or it's an old bit of pipe that's not connected to anything. 
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?
