Hello, I hope you can help me. I came across this term "cocina-office" in a Spanish property description and have a feeling that what they mean is a kitchen with a dining area, but would just like to confirm this! Thank you very much in advance for your help.

Eat-in kitchen
En España les llaman cocina-office a las cocinas que tienen incorporada una mesa y sillas para desayunar. Generalmente uno cena tambien ahi si los comensales son pocos.

Breakfast room
I believe it is the so-called breakfast room. Which is an area of the house where you have quick meals, kids do their homework, you do some work, etc. You basically do things you wouldn't do in the main dining room of some big houses.

: a breakfast room is not within the kitchen whereas the "office" is.

Lisa's answer above is on the right track. I believe this is the same as "cocina americana". Taking a look of the floor plan sketch or drawings would help if that's something readily available.
Hope this helps!

American kitchen
Yes, your guess is right - it's sometimes referred to as an 'American kitchen'.

: Guess this might be your best option, since this might mean that there is an office "corner" (a workstation or desk with a computer, for example) in the kitchen, which is quite a common feature of apartments and compact houses in North America.

: I know Spanish estate agents use this phrase all the time, but I'm not convinced that it's meaningful in English, or that it's a translation of the Spanish phrase.

My answer was based on the similar images for 'American Kitchen' and for 'cocina office'.

: Concuerdo con Phil. La cocina office no se refiere a un escritorio en la cocina.

When I've viewed properties in Spain, this is what they have meant by cocina-office.
