A detailed plan is the most important by far and I don’t think the windows should be driving decisions (even if being done first). Budget is always the biggest factor and what is structurally possible. I think your inspiration pictures indicate you aren’t clear about your direction. Traditional vs more modern will dictate decisions (roof, landscaping, windows, colors, etc ) and will be so much easier to make. I’d be soliciting professional input at this point around feasibility, both visually and financially.
Consider enlarging windows, no matter what look you decide on, as additional light is a bonus in a home and the exterior will also benefit.
You could even add door/small patio off the living room and create a little courtyard. There are many decisions ahead in creating a good plan; good luck.
