Porch/change stairs to create entrance

Hi,
Looking for some advice on our downstairs layout.
We have 2 front doors, however neither have a useful entrance area and there is no hallway into the large, unused "lobby" area in the middle of the house.
We're considering how to create a more useful entrance and hallway, with just 1 front door. Our initial thoughts have been either adding a porch extension to the central front door and wall in the office to create a hallway. Or moving the staircase. No idea what would be involved in this or how to find out whether it could be done!
The utility and downstairs loo also need reconfiguring as the loo is too small, could potentially take some of the lobby space.
Apologies for my very rough drawing on floorplan! Hopefully it gives an idea.
Appreciate any suggestions!
