Downstairs wc & utility - which would you do?

We want to take some space off the garage to add a downstairs toilet and a utility room. The utility room would need to have three doors - to the kitchen, garage, and toilet. If we have washer and dryer side by side, then opposite the door to the wc and a sink, that leaves 1.1m for the toilet, or we could ditch the utility sink, have a wider door to allow for bringing larger items through the garage into the kitchen and have a more spacious room for the toilet, maybe even space to add a shower. (When the cooker was delivered we had to take the door off its hinges to fit it in, and even then it was a squeeze!)

What would you prioritise? It's a 3/4 bed house & we're also looking to add a small en suite upstairs, so would have 3 bathrooms in total.

That's pretty much what mine looks like ...with no sink. Honestly I don't even vaguely miss having a sink in the utility! When I need to empty the tumble dryer water (I have a condenser), I just pour it straight down the toilet. There is a little sink in the toilet to wash hands.

Yes Finally , ours is a condenser too, so I was thinking of having it plumbed in since it will be next to the washer.

Didn't even think of that. Sounds sensible.
