A good nights sleep comes from a really good mattress. One that is suitable for your body. The style of bed would always depend on ones personal taste J Design Group, Modern Interior Design Firm in Miami, Florida. http://www.JDesignGroup.com

Thanks, yes this is the main and only bathroom. We are putting in a downstairs toilet but no space for shower as well so will just be a cloakroom. Whilst it is possible to move to the front bedroom the costs associated to it make it not something we would do. All water and waste facilities are at the rear where the bathroom is located now hence our dilemma

Just a quick question? Would you prefer the bedrooms together if possible? Were you thinking of an extension out towards the conservatory i.e. side return? I would do some room swapping and try and keep the bedrooms together and increase the size of the kitchen as it's very snug compared to the reception dining room space. The storage on the left is good to have but not at the expense of the room sizes and the corridor. There are so many possibilities but obviously all budget dependent. My instinct says you need a bigger kitchen directly connected to the dining/reception room and anotherr bedroom. I think a side extension although expensive as load bearing walls would give you more options. Removing chimneys is also very expensive.

@katlucy it's a good point - a window/door in the bedroom rear wall could be nice. yes - the door at the bottom of the stairs is a cellar. There is garden access from the kitchen only and a side gate. I suppose my greatest priority is creating a more cohesive living space, hence the thought to create a living/dining room and then make the bathroom a bit bigger with its own entrance off the newly extended hallway
