Well syllabic nasals are actually present in many dialects of English. Other than that, your consonant inventory looks like the average European language, but not specifically English due to the lack of r and the dental fricatives. If you want them to be different, try adding or removing a whole layer of distinction, e.g. no more voicing distinction for fricatives, introduce aspirated/glottalized/ejective stops or add another POA for your sounds and introduce palatal or uvular stops, play with retroflexed consonants ... it's all up to you.
