Since we also have a bungalow:
Roof: You can also store things excellently under a cold roof. Don't underestimate the storage space; you will urgently need it. By the way, we built a half-hipped roof and thus have really nice space.
Utility room: Don't put it next to a bedroom. When the heater switches on or the washing machine runs, it can be very disturbing. No thick wall will help you there. The noise goes right through the door. Also, it gets quite warm in there. A dryer can heat the room up quite quickly. You don't need to store food there.
Hallway: I personally am a big fan of "round" hallways. That way, you don't have to herd your guests through a narrow corridor and have some space yourself to put down groceries or something without having to jump over them. Don't forget your wardrobe!
Bathroom: Whether you absolutely need a guest bathroom is a matter of opinion. I just find it nicer if I don't have to put away my bra when visitors come.
Maybe check if the square shape is really necessary. An L-shape is much easier to furnish and you immediately have a covered terrace.
I have attached our floor plan so you know what I mean by a round hallway.
