How would an architect react to our plans?

We've just bought a 3 bed late 1950s bungalow.
A family of four, the space is liveable for now but we'd like to start planning how we would re-jig the space.
We've done some very rough drawings.
I've posted up the current floor plan and our vision for the future on my blog here: http://blissfulbungalow.blogspot.co.uk/
We were hoping to manage the work in stages (over several years), not least because of budget.
We're thinking that the stages would be as follows:
- Sitting rooms and
new extension - Master bedroom,
garage and ensuite - Utility and
kitchen - Snug
- Outside seating area
- Bathroom extension
and move loft hatch - Front windows and
porch
I would hope that an architect would challenge us on our plans and offer us other options and insights on how to best use the space.
I have two questions:
- Would it be sensible to commission an architect to do the whole plan of work at the beginning? Then use the same architect to do each detailed stage as and when we have the funds?
- Do our plans seem over ambitious?
Thanks!
