Anyone fancy rearranging my ground floor?

[PolarTundra]

Recently moved to a 1920s semi detached house which is very bottom heavy but the layout still isn't quite working.
Love the lounge so that's staying as is but the dining room is currently used as a home office/laundry tumble dryer room as there's no room in the kitchen. We eat at a table at the bottom of the kitchen so no need for a separate dining area but would love a utility with a muddy entrance door, maybe where the downstairs loo is?
The playroom is great for now as DC are v young but not sure how much they'll use it as they get older?
Its also flat roof all over the playroom, snug and bottom half of the kitchen and north west facing so quite dark!
Would love to save up and maybe extend sideways or use some of the dining room and add some roof lights to brighten it up!
So - if this was your house what would you do? Planning on staying put here so want to get it right!
Out options are using some of

I think opening up between the dining room and the kitchen would give you options for a large space, with a good sized dining are plus maybe room for a sofa somewhere. A bit more of a social area for whoever is cooking. I would turn the snug into a utility boot room. Keep the playroom as it is while the children are small but possibly earmark it for an adult snug/sitting room when they are older. Or have it as a tv/games room.

I would turn the snug into the office, take the end of the dining room where the outside door is and turn that into a wet room/utility with a door into kitchen leaving a small dining room which can be used for whatever, or use the foreshortened dining room as the study and the snug as a dining room. I like a dining room for times like Xmas or parties so we don't eat in the kitchen ( which we do normally)

Just realised the last sentence didn't complete was meant to say options are using the dining room and knocking through or extending further to the side. The area in front of the dining room is a dark patio so pretty useless but don't know if planning would be approved extending right up to the neighbours garden?
Thanks viques I do like the idea of a social area to the side but a separate home office is useful in the current climate so would like to retain some of that space for a quiet study!

Knock through dining room and kitchen.

You could also reorganise end of the current kitchen/snug area to create a small utility, and still have either one larger room or two smaller depending what suits.

Or, turn dining room into a small utility and rest playroom and knock through current kitchen and playroom.

I'd knock kitchen and dining room through. Move kitchen into dining room side.
Put a wall across end of kitchen.
Turn snug into utility boot room.
Turn end of kitchen into snug or study.
Enter kids room as before.
