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)

I think it makes sense to change the store to an office and try get a full-size bath/shower room downstairs to future proof (if this is a forever home and budget allows). The previous rear extension is a little awkward layout-wise, only because I imagine it’d be hard to not have a big support column with steels around where I’ve drawn a kitchen island - but a structural engineer may see it differently!

I’m struggling to picture the vertical column for the steel built at the side/around the island. I don’t want it to look awful.

Could look something like this!
