To remove the toilet from the en suite?

3 toilets in a house wins all day long. You can't have an ensuite without a toilet, it's like having a fry up without sausages. The first thing a buyer will ask is "Where's the toilet?", I've never heard anyone think or say it's like pooing in the room. Fans and or windows solve that. En suites came in very handy during noravirus, try running across the house demented, all night day, vomitting and pooing the bug out. Keep the bog.

Have a look at the space saving toilets. It's a loo underneath and a basin above the cistern. You could have one of those and a shower as you wouldn't need a separate hand basin then.

I seem to be in the minority here but I would actually love this! I do hate the idea of ensuites usually though as don't need to hear my partner pooing in the bedroom

Yes you don't need as much space as you might imagine, let's see a diagram OP!

I'm sure you can have all 3 things and feel very spacious !

Spend some time researching small en-suite bathrooms.
A more modern shower room, without the “tray” and a more modern glass pivot door can help perhaps gain another inch or so.

There are more compact toilets, ones on an angle from a corner etc than can get you another inch. Good planning, and use of compact fittings will get you more.

Shower room, in bedroom without toilet will put off buyers. When you want to sell, you want it sold quickly. You never know.

Please don’t put a wet room on an upper floor….

Yes, that's what we've done (though the shower area is full height). The whole room is only 5ft wide (maybe less), but the shower area doesn't feel in the least cramped.

Two toilets isn't many for a four bedroomed house, we're running on two toilets at the moment, it was easier when we had three.

Can't you do a wet room with a smaller shower area?

Is your shower currently in a 'capsule'? I think that might be your issue - they do feel very claustrophobic.
Could make the shower tray same height as floor, so it feels more 'walk in'
and then use a glass door but for only half of it so it doesn't feel tight. Like this clever person has done in their beautiful en-suite, (not me). Very simple, doesn't use much space.

Are all four bedrooms on the same level? If yes you would have one toilet for four bedrooms? (yes I know there is a toilet downstairs but not convenient during the night).

We had a similar situation with our en suite, the room was spacious but the toilet was squashed in beside a tiny raised shower cubicle. We moved the toilet to a different position, would that be an option? It wasn't difficult to do plumbing wise.

I would love this but looks like I'm in a minority!

Have a toilet installed inside the shower - think of the time saving potential!

If you don't have plans to move in the near future I think you should do whatever you want, and have your home the way you like. I wouldn't want an ensuite without a toilet personally. We mostly use the main shower because it's bigger and easier to just clean one shower, I'd definitely prioritize the toilet personally.

A few years ago I rejected buying a house with master bedroom on the second floor with just a toilet and shower. Bath/shower we on the first floor

I now realise that having the toilet close by was a must, shower not as important

I'm not an en suite fan so I would change it into a walk in wardrobe.
Just chucking a curveball in.

I wouldn't buy a house with the set up you're proposing. And especially I wouldn't consider it if I'd practically have to demolish the whole en suite to reinstate it. When I had orthopedic surgery and couldn't really walk, I was so grateful to have an esuite with a loo a d a shower.

I have an ensuite sans loo. it's fine and I appreciate the nicer shower as a result

This sounds good to me.
I would not want a shower room without a toilet. And a toilet ensuit would be more important to me than my own shower.
You said you rarely use the shower, how often do you use the toilet? Try locking the door for a month and see how you feel not having it?

I'd also be very put off because I'd be pretty sure that people were weeing in the shower if there was no loo.....

Is the shower between the basin and loo the most efficient layout? We need a diagram so we can find shower space!

There are so many space-efficient loos and basins out there. It must be possible to fit in your lovely shower.

Me too.
I usually use the toilet before showering.
So yes would find it very odd.

I was looking at a house on rightmove with exactly that, a 'en suite' with just a shower and sink (theres plenty of room for a toilet but it doesn't have one). House is above my budget but not wildly I do like it, think I'll wait and see if it gets reduced.

Honestly my thoughts on the shower room en suite where... well we will rip that out and have either an office of dressing room.
