Floorplan advice needed!

We've recently bought our first home, a small 1960's 3 bedroom 1 bathroom that needs a significant reno. We've decided against an extension so just looking for some advice to best utilise the space we have. We're a family of 4 with 2 children aged 9 and 10. This isn't our forever home but we plan to stay here for 8-10 years.
We've had a builder round and can knock out the wall between kitchen/living (will need a beam put in but happy to do so with builders etc in the family) to create an open plan space but not set on the best layout for this. We plan to put bifolds in where the dining window is and build a deck. The windows in the corner of the living area are gorgeous floor to ceiling windows. Would love to squeeze a study nook in somewhere if we can as we work from home occasionally.
Also needing advice with the bathroom/laundry. Would like to keep toilet separate, and keep both bath and shower. Laundry space isn't super important - I'd be happy with a euro laundry behind cupboard doors if it meant the space could be used somewhere else. Linen cupboard could potentially be moved/condensed to make more space in the bathroom.
We're newbies to the reno scene so any advice would be greatly appreciated!
