I have said everything I wanted to say about the floor plan. But since I just wrote it somewhere else, I'll quote myself regarding the granny flat in general

Compromises are okay. But subordinating the whole house to a way of life that is not obvious and restrictive only leads to dissatisfaction.

In the previous draft, we only had one main entrance, the only thing that benefited from this was the WC on the ground floor, which I have to say is fully sufficient in size for me. So yes, we considered it at one point because it initially seemed obvious for us, but the location of the staircase in the middle of the house best connected the upper and lower floors in this version, so we decided on this variant. I will do that later, we did it in an old draft, but not yet for this version, I’ll do it that way. Although I can say we have already seen the floor plan furnished in full scale and changed a few small things we didn’t like, and we actually found out that this arrangement gives us quite a bit of flexibility on the upper and lower floors. Only the ground floor is fixed and can’t be changed much. But that also depends on the room layout relative to the cardinal directions and the slope. I, or rather we, do not consider the compromise to be that big, of course you could easily have 5 sqm more on the ground floor, but you quickly fill that with stuff you neither need nor which adds any quality of life. Maybe the thread can be closed with the conclusion that this house plan is not to everyone’s taste, but for our budget, our lifestyle, and preferences, it certainly does not represent a complete misbuild!?

You spend most of your time on the ground floor.

You have 42 sqm assigned to living areas. Part of this is unfurnished in the kitchen and part in the wardrobe - hallway.
17 sqm hallway unfurnished area.
The reading area - quiet area lies between the kitchen - dining - hallway, so exactly in the busiest area.

Let's leave aside the slope and the two-family house planning. Ground floors are often planned so that the following is considered:
Kitchen as close to the terrace as possible
Living area 4 m wide is not a mistake with the currently usual TV sizes
Staircase not next to the door. How often do you walk past the entrance door not quite in daylight? In the end, even with a glass insert
Wardrobe next to the entrance. With 2 doors and 2 storage options, shoes and jackets are always hanging on the wrong door.

You also have a lot of empty space in the basement. Large hallway, dressing room with few cabinets and a lot of traffic area, the conservatory that will heat up the sleeping area enormously.

I would shift rooms again and not consider a two-family house plan at the staircase. Which does not mean that the staircase is planned open into the living area.

Plan a step-free path to the garden. Hand truck, wheelbarrow, etc. must be taken down and back up with a load

Cool saying, but in reality your plot is unfortunately even more challenging than 's:

You mean more interesting or exciting ;) I know that we didn't choose an easy property, but anyone who wants an affordable property in a reasonably good location here in the region has to be willing to face such challenges, or build elsewhere. We then decided for the challenges :)
