I get that everyone wants to have one straight line from the appliance plugged into the wall however i would love to know why you consider the option of extending a cable to make it longer such a bad idea.
Hotpoint SA2 540 H BL guidance discourages the use of extension leads etc..

Have you actually asked any electricians to quote for adding / moving the socket?
If it is relatively straight forward may not be as expensive as you think?
