We are renting where we currently live, so I bear no responsibility for the layout pictured below...
* Eye-level split oven/grill? Pass.
* Sink under window? Pass
* Double sink? Fail
* Two units space between hob and sink? Fail
* Shelf for the microwave? Fail
* Massive great big brick-built breakfast bar (at which only three people can sit comfortably) to accommodate fridge and freezer (which would have fitted nicely under the windows if they'd extended the work surface into an L-shaped arrangement), which cuts a very comfortably sized >12' x >12' room (positively manorial by English standards) clean in half, thereby preventing the occupants from plonking down a good old fashioned Kitchen Table, or even two tables next to each other for parties? Fail (or should that be 'Pass'?).
Nothing subtle about it

One advantage of home-ownership - you can design your own kitchen.
BE, sure, but the advantage of renting is that you just learn to put up with it for a few years. If we'd bought the place we'd have spent £10,000 and upwards changing it all round again.

"If we'd bought the place we'd have spent £10,000 and upwards changing it all round again."
That's because no-one can resist the temptation to "do the job properly, whilst they are about it", i.e. rip it all out and start again. The few mods you have suggested above wouldn't cost more than a few hundred quid.
