Advice needed for Bathroom refurb in a terraced house in the midlands

[MGLaw24]

Advice needed.
Basically my husband and I bought a terraced house (2 bed, 1 attic room). There are currently 2 bathrooms (1 family, 1 ensuite) upstairs but both are old and badly put in, so they need replacement.
The issue is the family bathroom, firstly there is no proper ventilation and it cuts through the master bedroom, making it vastly smaller and there is only one place to put the bed.
Now my question is, do we move the family bathroom downstairs where there would be proper ventilation and a downstairs loo? This would open out the master bedroom to it's full size which would be a huge bedroom.
The ensuite will remain in the same place with a refurb. But I would like to hear thoughts about re sale value, as we don't think this will be our forever home.
We bought the house for £180k, and we hope to sell for a small profit in the next 5-10 years.

So whoever is in the attic room would have to either use the ensuite in the middle of the night or go down two floors? That isn't great IMO.

Well technically the attic floor isn't a bedroom, the floor isn't strong enough to hold a bed, so it's technically (at the moment) a 2 bed house

Can you make the ensuite accessible from both bedrooms? If so move the big bathroom downstairs.

If not don't do it. It would be a problem for some when you sell.

We have a three bedroom terraced rental with the downstairs bathroom and really it’s only acceptable to single men. Or potentially somebody with a disability.

Definitely limit your market when selling more so then when renting

Do you have a floor plan?
I agree, could you have Jack and Jill bathroom?
Could you put a loo under the stairs or elsewhere on the ground floor?

I have no idea about re-sale values but would make the house livable for YOU, NOW, rather than worrying too much about what someone in 10yrs might want.

Jack and Jill bathroom is a good idea but one opening would need to be onto the landing not the second bedroom so visitors could get to it without going through a bedroom. Or put in a downstairs loo.

Jack and Jill upstairs bathroom opening off both bedrooms, plus a downstairs loo.

Couldn't find actual floorplan so created this

Floorplan created by me (couldn't find original)

Well, I don’t know what I would do with that, but you’ve got to keep the existing bathrooms
There’s no advantage to losing the ensuite

So moving the family bathroom downstairs isn't worth the price? We were also thinking of shrinking it and keeping it upstairs. It's a problem either way

What are the dimensions of the second bedroom?

I think it depends a bit whereabouts the downstairs one would be. At the bottom of the stairs would be easier for the occupants of the second bedroom than out the back of the kitchen which is where they often end up in terraced houses. Also what space would be lost downstairs to fit it in?

Hmm difficult. We had a three bed terrace when our 4 were little, and we only had a downstairs bathroom and it really didn’t bother us. But if most people locally now have upstairs bathrooms, you’d be at a disadvantage.
I think I would look to making the second floor room a proper room with en-suite. Middle floor remove the bathroom and just have the en suite then a bathroom on the ground floor.

Yes, we've only got a downstairs bathroom and it's fine, in fact if I can only have one I prefer downstairs but ours is in the middle of the house not the back and all the houses in our street are the same (no issues with selling, it's a sought after location). But if you are thinking of converting the attic you'd need one on the first floor and if others in your street have proper upstairs bathrooms you might find it makes it hard to sell. Do you know what layouts your neighbours have?

I don’t know if this would work because it’s going to depend on the dimensions of your spaces, and also where the sewerage goes. But could you consider something like this?

Also will depend where the windows in your Bed 1?

Sorry, I'm confused. Does bathroom 1 have 2 doors to access it? 1 from the hall and also from bedroom 1?
Space can be saved in the bathrooms by having sliding doors to access them.
