Is there a plan of 221b Baker Street somewhere on the internet? And if
not of the whole house, at least of Holmes and Watson's rooms?

It isn't described in enough detail to be able to determine which
proposed floorplan is the correct one.

I beg to differ sir! In the last Holmes that I heard on the wireless
there was mention of a bay window. So assuming that the wireless
dramatization (I don't recall if it was one of yours!) kept closely to
the book, there should be a bay window in the plans.

Well observed. I don't remember if it was one of mine either, but those
rooms had a tendency to sprout features which were necessary for a
particular story but thereafter were never heard of again. Obviously, all
those plans were drawn up either before the Baker Street Speedy Building
Company had installed the bay window or after its sister company Dorset Mews
Demolition had taken it out again.
