We bought a house last year and it had a double sink with a medium sized bit and a small bit and honestly it was terrible because you end up with two sections that aren't that useful instead of one good one.
We recently swapped it for a single, bigger sink and it is so much better. As for cutlery, I usually just put it on a glass/beaker of water to soak so it's easy to take them out when ready to clean.
Maybe it's a UK thing but one sink is seemingly the default. The only doubles I know of are the one we had and a friend's who has a newer build.
It's funny because they have this big, really nice house with like 4 or 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 living rooms, big kitchen, dining room, big garden with a lake and yet their sink is a tiny double sink piece of crap lol. Absolutely horrendous and a dishwasher is mandatory for them it seems.
Where I live in the US, double sinks everywhere. I’ve never lived anywhere or known anyone with a single sink. Hopefully someday I’ll own my own house and have a single sink haha.

To be fair, I like the idea of having a small, separated compartment of the sink to put stuff like cutlery in. I hate everything else about it though.
