Is it just a living  room or lounge/diner. If lounge seems lovely size :-)
We have similar lounge, and have a corner sofa, compact one from next, nice rug and the sideboard opposite with TV on wall. Perfect for us 

The house plan has it listed as a Living/Dining Area but personally I don’t see a need for a dining area so would just look to utilise the space as a living one. I think the problem is not so much the size but how the doors/Windows impact the possible locations furniture can be placed.

That sounds perfect, I’ll look into compact sofas as that might be a possible space saver and great solution (most sofas I’d seen just devour the entire living space and were a little overwhelming.

This is what we have. Fits perfect :-) 260cm wide

We have holiday lets and one is a one bedroom with similar layout sitting room.  We used Ikea sofa system VIMLE which has a chaise option. It works REALLY well. 

A cursory look at your plan (although you don't give full measurements up to the door) you may want to rehang the door so it opens towards the smaller aspect.

We have recently purchased a JL sofa for a narrow room the depth is only 80cms whereas majority are at least 100cms. There is room for a footstool to fit underneath which makes it more comfortable. I think you just need to be more aware of structured styles rather than the marshmallow deep upholstery some sofas have.
