Thanks for the suggestions, I’ll do some reading/price comparisons.
With Sonos is it worth going for 2 speakers set up for stereo or does one sound ok? It would be a little over budget but not crazy.
Should I consider a soundbar instead of more conventional speakers?

i'd say no to a soundbar if you want to use it for music.
these sound decent and look quite nice - i have one, they seem to be discontinued but you could pick one up second hand or open box like this one:

only thing to note is the UI is UNDOK which I'm not mad about and have complained about on here in the past.

Q Acoustics M20 is quite nice and not too pricey, for an all in one system

I’ve been really impressed by the two Sonos Ones I installed in our workshop. 100m2 and they still slap. A stereo pair would be great I reckon. Got ours for about £80 each on eBay.
There are a few models though so be aware. Don’t get the old one with physical buttons on top. There’s a voice assistant enabled version of the new gen, and dumb (One SL I think). You’d only need one voice activated on to tell them both what to do.

I only have single speakers and a soundbar but by all accounts you get more value going for a stereo pair than upping the size.
The soundbars are decent for music but a stereo pair would be much better for cheaper.
The app is far superior to the Undok one (the Super connect uses that too).
If you don't need Bluetooth/Aux in you can go with the previous model for a fair bit lower price. There's also a decent number of discounts that come up.

I like the Sonos stuff and it ticks all the boxes but I'm not sure if it's really worth it unless you are going with multi-room where it's way ahead of the other options.
On the other hand it generally just works and is compatible with a lot of stuff and is in budget.
A Revo super connect has decent sound and looks nice, worth keeping an eye out on the refurb store. App definitely isn't as good as Sonos though.
Something like a Wiim mini and active speakers or little amp and speakers would be the separates option. Not as neat and pushing the budget a bit though.
The Naim stuff is ideal for this kind of requirement but probably out of budget.
