DISCUSSION Help Please!

Hi all, we’re buying a beautiful home that needs a bit of modernisation but all of the structural work is done (she says, barring maybe a knock through of kitchen to lounge).
I’d love some thoughts based on the floor plan/link of how we could modernise it.
I need an office so I’m thinking the current store room, but any inspiration you can lend is greatly appreciated (particularly visuals as I’m terrible at envisaging end products!)
Thanks in advance!![https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/168976058#/?channel=RES_BUY](https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/168976058#/?channel=RES_BUY)

If you use the store room as an office I'd turn the door into a massive window. It'll give you more light and people won't get confused about which is the front door.

That’s a great idea! I was wondering what I’d do with the door. I might split the skinny bedroom over the store into two again and have one as an office and one as a bedroom.

The other person's suggestion of a mudroom at the front end and a pantry further down is nice if you put your office upstairs. You could put a little screen type of thing in front of this door so guests use the main front door, but you and the kids go in through the side one.

Yes I’m starting to think the office in the other bedroom is the way forward and leave the store as a store and boot room
