Vectorworks. More thoughts - the two bed opt could do with a single shared bathroom. 4x4 is huge for a bedroom and the living is a bit tight so bed2 could be reduced to a 2x4 bunk rm or a 3x4 twin/double. Depends what the future use case is (holiday let ?).
There would be a way of doing a separate kitchen i'm sure.
Good extraction followed by natural ventilation would be fine for open plan IMO.

ah ha! Vectorworks is a long way above my skills...
Yes, I have the interesting aspect of having the large brick pillars every 2 metres, which feel like very natural breaks. Would be much easier if they were spaced at 1.5m or 3m I think.
Likely usage is hopefully a holiday let, but could also be a granny annexe for elderly relatives (or me and the wife when my daughter kicks me out). So I guess in a holiday let, bedroom size and storage is secondary to living area, but for a granny annexe would definitely need a decent amount of storage space.
The other thing I need to consider is that there are no windows in the back or side walls (and won't be easy to put any in (thick old stone walls), so all light needs to come from the front or rooflights.

Interesting! Thank you so much for doing this, it certainly raises some interesting questions. I did originally consider the open plan approach, but have never lived in one, so never sure how practical they are when cooking something really smelly... Can I ask what program you used to make these plans?
@JonoMarshall Yes given we are AONB, we will probably have to go through full planning, so I'm sure there will be things they flag up. We will certainly be looking at the agricultural routes, as it was a cow shed for 100 years or so...
