Advice req'd on changing layout of ground floor

[nut3lla]

Hi,
Looking some creative advice on how to easily (cheaply) adapt our current house layout to be better. Would really prefer to merge the kitchen & family room but there’s a utility room & toilet in between. Thought about moving the utility to back of house, cupboard area but really want to keep toilet. Can anyone suggest something simple that I can’t see? TIA

I'd turn the current kitchen into a light bright snug/ adult (as in tidy, no kids toys, nice fabrics doesn't have to be hoseable) lounge.

Build a new partition stud wall with door across the hall just beyond the w/c, board up back of stairs. Knock the current family room, cupboard and dining room into one big open plan kitchen/ dining/ family space. Possibly shrink the lounge slightly so that the big back room is a balanced shape. Close up door between lounge and current dining space.

Entrance area would essentially have stairs and four doors leading left into lounge, right into snug, second right into w/c and opposite into big space.
