A penny for the hive mind's thoughts...

In the process of buying a 3-bed mid-terrace that looks a bit like this (first time using sketch-up), with possible plans scribbled on as follows (in addition to general renovation/updating):
- move boiler from upstairs bedroom to downstairs utility
- open up kitchen (90s extension) to dining room
- re-arrange kitchen so that it flows along the length of the opened up back wall, with hob tucked in the chimney breast (once opened up)
- can't see it, but i'd also like a skylight in the current kitchen's roof
- some kind of semi-glazed double doors between dining and living room
- possibly moving the downstairs loo underneath the stairs, but not sure if that's not more work than it's worth (especially if boiler goes there)
- shift upstairs wall (non-struct.) back to original place (3rd bed will be an office, long-term plan to convert loft to 3rd bed proper)
Any major flaws in those plans? Things you'd do differently, or better ideas?

Couldn't you extend a wall underneath the stairs, make the entry to the toilet from there from the hallway and snug the washing machine underneath the stairs?
Having double doors between the stink in the toilet and the living room is common practice on the continent where I am from.
Also, if you get the enfilade with the doors between front room and dining room, can't you rearrange that corner with the 45degree angle that ends nowhere?
I always like a little storage room for food, hoover, cases of beer and water. Might be able to fit that into the constellation with the toilet.
Agree with the boiler ideas; you want to have an air outlet.

Do you mean something like this, with doors opening into the hallway?

Then potentially taking up some of that that free space on the left with a storage area/room?
