I have been back to the house and measured properly. I hadn’t realised quite how difficult it is to do this accurately. It is too easy to assume that walls are at right angles to each other etc and invariably they aren’t.
Anyway here is the slightly revised upstairs plan. Thank you to APD Observer for your thoughts on the placement of the sink. We had pretty much come to same conclusion but it is good to hear it from someone else. The sink and toilet could be swapped but I think I’ll leave that decision until we start the work. As we are not really building over the stairs (only using a cupboard that is already there) and as the waste will go straight out the side wall here should be no need to raise the floor level whatever option we take.
All the windows, doors and chimney breasts have been added to the drawing along with an indication of where wardrobes can go.

It occurs that there may (or may not) be Building Control issues if you remove a downstairs WC from the house - you may wish to check this out when you are considering the downstairs layout.
Apparently some Building Control Officers have suggested that it is a requirement for all houses to have a downstairs WC (which it is if you are building a new house) and that this prevents the removal of one from an existing house.
Thanks for that. I'll check it out. In any event it might be quite good to keep a downstairs toilet.
I will come up with two different plans and see how they look.
