Any decent room planners on here need some advice?

Yeah it is doable my concerns are mainly:

Fire escapes

If I wanted to revert back to a stock dwelling like a kitchen put back in hopefully the internal structure can be altered to another design without changing load bearing internal walls?
So many regulations I need to ask about like the narrow corridor and planning for business use.
Still have the lower floor to design as that would be non sleeping areas.
There is space for a large garden enclosure about 700sqft of surrounding land, but I think that will be used for parking and a garden bench usage.

There is three main options:
1) Whole house like a town house
2) Covert into three separate apartments 
3) Have a Two up one down
4) Convert the whole thing into a guest house

Only you can decide which option you go with. Once you do, then you hand it over to an Architect to make it work. Alternatively you have 4 different designs produced, then cost each one out in terms of expenditure and projected return, before moving forward with your chosen design.

Either way, it seems that you need professional help before going any further. That's my considered opinion based on 27 years in the industry.

Still would like some rough drawings on paper to take with me just to show a few people back home!

As per my earlier comments tho' it is impossible to guess at what will fit into a space that no one knows the size of.

Speaking as another professional, get an architect on board or at the very very least - a competent architectural technician.

I think you both got the wrong end of the stick This about exploring options for how things would be organised I would not use these plans as a scale to build reference hence I've only given basic height and width floor area.
I'm sure people still make rough blue prints before they make it to scale?
I can't go and pull dimensions off a building as there is no building so someone must have enough experience to make assumptions to fill gaps?
I'll have to get mini cad out and have a go myself been a few years but hey ho!

Great Jon when I have a mo I'll look at that program.
The Architect will have to work with builders and planning, think something might get lost in translation cool all the same!

I made this in half an hour most of it was learning how to use it but this is all I needed as a reference!
Not sure from a technical point of view what else to add? Any advice would be good from the pro's
