Convert cupboard into utility room

We have a deep cupboard in our bathroom that we were hoping to convert into a utility room housing our tumble drier and washing machine. To do this we would want to block off the door currently feeding into the bathroom and knock through the plasterboard wall that feeds onto the hallway, and install some recessed sliding doors into the wall so that we can block it off as and when desired (see highlighted section in attached floorplan). This will also involve some minimal plumbing work for the washing machine (the boiler is currently in this cupboard also - a combi boiler) and possibly some tiling work to make good on the bathroom side.
