This comment is a bit late, but we bought a house last year that was extended in 1992 over not one, but two, manhole covers (kitchen and cloakroom). Both had been tiled over but with sealed hatches that could be lifted in case of emergency. In 25 years this was never necessary but the idea of leaving them in tact was a little unpleasant. It's a public sewer that includes several neighbouring houses. We just undertook an extensive house refurb and moved the manhole access points outdoors and permanently sealed the internal ones. It wasn't as complicated as we originally thought. What you want to do as a starting point is get a drain surveyor to come and inspect the routes and flow of waste. We used Power Rod (we are based in Hertfordshire) and they came with their camera on a hose reel and mapped out our plumbing routes all the way to the mains in every direction. Then your builder will be able to take it from there, or you can hire a specialist grounds company to sort it out. If it's any help, in your head you may have this idea that raw sewage is just gushing under your floorboards but in reality, when I looked down the hatches, it's really just a matter of a few pipes several meters down. It was surprisingly more sanitary than I expected and I found that reassuring.

Sorry- I don’t like your plan. In my opinion the space between the sink and hob is where the work happens so you are actually a bit tight for space. I think the door from the kitchen to the playroom is a massive fail- firstly you are inviting the kids to run past the cooking area, secondly is splits the kitchen and there are safety implication for having a walkway through the kitchen, I also think it makes your kitchen plan feel disjointed. I also think that if the children are young they won’t want to be in the playroom, they will want to be where you are. If you are worried about the playroom being dark this is easily sorted with better lighting and a pale coloured floor. Alternatively make this the grown up room and the kids playroom near the front door. I also think that putting the sitting area around the corner in the extension makes it feel enclosed and a little tight because of its location. I think you have put too many stools at the island and in reality people rarely use more than 3. In my opinion better to have fewer comfortable seats that are spread out with room to eat. I also think you missed an opportunity to have a cupboard near the front door to hide coats, shoes and a vacuum cleaner. I think that if you want an extra shower it may be easier to put this off the bootroom- a bigger utility/ bootroom area may help later to keep sports equipment/ dogs/ ironing etc etc out of sight. There is a privacy argument to put it where you have but I suspect the wall you have moved to take a corner off the kitchen is a job that will require a steel.

But separately your argument to not have a garden facing room because there is only the two of you then create another tiny room there makes no sense. Neither does spending money on a secret bookcase door for a room you would likely never use. In my opinion why not have an working from home office that is either in one of the bedrooms as currently you are unlikely to use three guest rooms. Or if you particularly want the office downstairs have it in a bigger and better space - ie in the room facing the garden rather than the drive. I have a pretty big house and found that unless the two of you spread out into the space (by having fewer rooms but bigger rooms) you end up having lots of rooms that you almost never go in.
