ᐅ Bungalow Floor Plan with Gable Roof – Potential for Improvement?

Hello
Attached is our floor plan for a bungalow with a pitched roof (storage space under the pitched roof).
The kitchen and bathroom fittings are yet to be planned. Only the room sizes are defined. Doors can still be moved slightly.
At the staircase area, a small entrance hall can optionally be installed (less heating required). The terrace will be semicircular at the front, so slightly larger.
The main focus should be on interior optimization.
The maximum width of the floor plan is fully used – unfortunately. One meter (about 3 feet) more would have been better.
What else could be improved?
I have attached the plan as a PDF and JPG.
Thanks

Master bedroom with continuous wardrobe wall – passage from bed to wardrobe too narrow (only about 50 cm (20 inches)) ...

The sofa moves further forward. Behind it will be a wardrobe or open shelving unit in the living room. I’m not quite following. If the wardrobe moves forward, what happens to the space behind it? Will that become the living room storage area?

The wardrobe in the bedroom is supposed to be continuous. Ikea PAX... 60cm (24 inches) at bed height, 40cm (16 inches) deep, then another 60cm (24 inches)... I find the 50cm (20 inches) aisle width completely impractical. Is the idea to walk balanced along those 50cm (20 inches) while also opening wardrobe doors or shelves? Every day?
I would consider removing the entrance at the front. Instead, move the carport towards the top of the plan. Here’s a sketch based on the first standard floor plan I found:
Thank you for the feedback.
We did not plan any storage for the living room. It is only large enough to fit a cabinet there. The dimensions are roughly the same as our old living room, so the furniture was not copied exactly.
The same applies to the kitchen and bathroom. The room sizes are defined, but not the design.
We really liked the floor plan, but unfortunately, the major issue became clear just last week.
Some experienced planners here immediately noticed that the passage between the bed and the wardrobe in the bedroom is too narrow. We had not considered this at all. We don’t need a large bedroom since we only sleep there, but it still has to be accessible.
We now need to take some time to accept that we may have to completely redesign.

I should start a new topic in the floor plan thread since the previous one was just brainstorming.. Joker. Omitting the reference (so that over 60 posts of the thread history remain invisible here for anyone who doesn’t have the time to scroll through your history based on suspicion) is, in my view, a pretty serious netiquette faux pas :-(

Grrr.... I think the terrace options here offer more potential
Since this design is somehow more popular, we want to give it another chance. However, we’re not quite sure how to fulfill the following requirements...
Separate private and living areas a bit...
The children’s room will later become an office/guest room, so it shouldn’t be "wasted" as the best room in the future. Somehow, this is a balancing act that’s not easy to manage...
But maybe there’s something possible?
