Yeah feels to me like the original kitchen is crying out to be the dining room so you can have nice light in the eves for dinner parties.
The family currently must be the darkest so I’d be inclined to cut a sliver off next to the bathroom for a utility and keeping the doors for the family room with the kitchen being the middle room assuming that’s where you’ll spend the least of your time.

yeah we'd knock down a window and replace it with french doors for the new kitchen (current dining room). Should have noted there is actually a window in the current family room too, more or less where i've put one in the ikea plan.
Handily, 'south' on the diagram/floor plan is almost true south IRL. We would probably put 2 window lights above the dining table position, and decking for the french windows to open on to - having indoor/outdoor is what we're keen on too. Even having the doors open when cooking in the summer would be nice... but it also got my wondering whether I wouldn't want the dining table close to those french windows and have the kitchen elsewhere....
