One one there is a home office and the other is ‘other’ - assume these are basically the same?
Do you have a garden?
I think 1st option is better but I think I’d divide the ‘other’ room in two, have a narrow utility room and a bigger open plan kitchen diner but with the little nook from other room as a office corner (maybe in some built in cupboard so it can be closed off). Then the utility turned into a WC & have the corridor run from front to back more like it does currently.
Remove the nib in the kitchen if poss and have the walls flush with a single run of floor to ceiling cupboards on the RH side of kitchen and an island then centre doors out to the back so you can see the garden (?) through the house when you enter.

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.
