I would love to have somewhere large enough to be comfortable and entice me in during the dark winter time.

Whatever size you get will be too small ;-)

You will need opening windows as it will get very hot and you will need
air circulation - automatic window openers are good as there will be
spring days when it just doesn't occur to one that the greenhouse is
getting too hot.

Other than that, you'll want to consider somewhere to sit, arm chair if
possible, electric light, heating to extend the growing season into
winter, a radio - and I find a solar powered one is excellent 'cos
there's plenty of sunlight in a greenhouse.

It's also convenient to have plenty of work space for potting things up,
and therefore storage space for bags of compost and spare flower pots.
And somewhere for a few tools and reference books.

Kay, this sounds exactly what I have in mind, the armchair and radio set the scene.
Having plenty of working space is something that would encourage me to do more, at the moment I have little propagators and seed trays in all of my windows, which I really get fed up with, and it stops me doing a lot of things.
Thankyou
