Are you not allowed to access the property from the north?

Yes, we are allowed. That was the original plan, which is why the entrance is placed like that in the first floor plan. However, you would have to walk around the entire house from the carport.
I can’t really imagine having the carport in front of the house.

Create templates for the house and carport and move them around on graph paper at millimeter scale, taking screenshots with your phone.
It has always proven true that 2 meters (6.5 feet) less space in front of the house is painful, while variations of a few centimeters in the backyard don’t really matter at this scale.
Always include the thickness of the walls when drawing the house, otherwise you might end up missing 74 cm (29 inches), making the walk-in closet and laundry room inaccessible.

Then just build an L-shaped bungalow and, as suggested by @dertill, place the carport on the east side next to the house, with access from the north.

If only it were that simple
Regardless of the financial aspects, we kept coming back to a rectangular layout for the floor plan.

Apart from financial aspects, we always ended up with a rectangular floor plan.

And what about my suggestion

Here comes something constructive:
For example, it would be more relaxing if the kitchen were at the front (on the right side of the plan), and the seating area was in front of the bedrooms. I admit, I haven’t looked at the floor plan recently.

But to start at the front, I would consider rotating the house and placing the carport on the north side as well. It doesn’t fit exactly on the corner, but somewhere nearby. This would create a southwest-facing garden including a terrace and even a corner ideal for relaxing...

Also, the bathroom door would be relocated further to the left side of the plan — this results in a shorter route to the bathroom from both bedrooms, while preventing anyone standing at the stove or fridge from having direct sight into the bathroom.

The current children’s room could become your bedroom. The current bedroom could be the bathroom, the current bathroom a utility room, and the rest would follow accordingly... all with adjusted walls...
