I have a network at home with a wireless router in the office. It is
also a four port router, and prior to running any wireless at all, I
wired the house with four outlets. One in the office, two in kids
bedrooms and one in the lounge area.
Presently I use the wired outlets for access around the house but due
to the size of the house, the wireless does not reach the lounge which
has the one wired outlet. Therefore, if we want to use two laptops in
the lounge, only one may have internet access.
If I were to add a wireless access point to the lounge "wired access
point" would this effectively allow for multi use in the lounge
through wireless? Does the fact that I already have wireless in the
office affect the system (having two wireless points on the same
system)

Nope. You may need to put htem on different channels though.
By the way its often cheaper to buy a second wireless router, stick it
in the same place you would have put the AP, and just disable the DHCP
server in it.

And use a LAN port to connect to the wired network, not the WAN
(Internet) port.

Not too sure what you mean. Will this be obvious to me?
