i think a table the size of a single bed is fine

and you have enough garden space to make a suitable sized out door area

i have sent you a pm private mail

By reading a few of your posts I can see you are very passionate about getting a tortoise but what also strikes me is that you are sensible enough to know that long term maybe a tortoise is not an ideal pet for you.

They do need alot of space and a canal boat or small flat really would not be appropriate - they can actually cost a fair bit to maintain as well - electric - vets bills - bulbs and most of all time - you are young so your circumstances will chage as you have already mentioned.

Good luck with what ever you decide.
