Is knocking through any of the walls an option? Look like window(s) in what is currently the dining room is an option, going by third drawing?
Personally I like the middle one. Not sure how feasible it would be to turn the 'utility' room into a toilet. I'd consider knocking through the 'living' and 'other' and adding a side window.

Hi everyone - firstly this thread (and the other general house threads) are very useful so thanks.
Thought I'd ask for some help on a plan to rearrange our downstairs space in an oddly laid-out victorian end terrace.
Plans below - original and two possible ideas I've put together. Currently the 2nd reception/dining room has no direct light source and feels like a corridor (as per for these rooms it seems). Kitchen area is narrow, small and in the darkest part of the house and is a real drag to spend time in. There's dodgy extension connecting the rear of the 2nd recep and kitchen (marked other on original plan) which we would like to replace with something more useful, but budget and the boundary wall dictates its rough size and shape.
Any ideas/criticisms on the possible layouts I've put together? The idea is to get four useful spaces (kitchen/dining area/downstairs utility w toilet/study or snug) out of the rear of the house.
