A key element of a suspended floor will be whether you can ventilate the void. If you can instal air bricks on two sides then a depth of around 500mm below floor level will be more than enough. You will have to build sleeper walls on foundations on each side and incorporate a DPC on each one. Since the room will be a utility room a central sleeper wall is advisable to limit floor bounce from your washing machine.

If the room the other side of "the opposite wall" is on a suspended floor this should provide adequate ventilation. Probably better not to dig lower than the bottom of the foundations, you can use face fix joist hangers if there is not enough width on the existing foundations for the outer sleeper walls.
