I'm half guessing you want a must have door,(style) over, i must have a door.. point is there maybe hidden expenses (time and fiddly stuff) in fitting anything (especially salvaged) . Carefully choosing salvaged is how I'd go despite the trend for sliding stuff

If you can cope with the fudgery in style vintage crittall will sit in their own frame cutting much of the headache

Yeah defo try the salvage place. Its great.
Just on experience, avoid painted doors that you might get stripped. We did this and found a huge chunk had woodworm/beetle damage after getting it stripped. They were really transparent and did say before we bought it that they can never guarantee whats underneath (apparently burnt wood is a common thing to find!!!?!).

What are your current doors like? Panelled right?
My immediate thought would be that you take one of your existing door designs and have glass set where the panels are.
Left field option is to go modern and get a modern slider panel door with etched glass/similar.
My reading of your brief is that this is off the utility room. So sliding might be less intrusive. However, you won't get as good noise dampening.

@gillies
