My DH and I are considering our options about having our main bathroom split into two. I am desperate to have a second loo. Even with just my DH, me and our toddler, its a nuisance having to hold in or go to the loo when someone is showering.
We have a 1930s house, its the smaller scale, 2 double bed/ box room with space for literally a single bed type, so small.
The boiler is newly installed under the stairs so we could have a double oven unit and a larger kitchen. So really there is no place for the loo to go downstairs.
If we did divide the one bathroom we have, we would have a teeny tiny separate loo room right beside the " main" bathroom.
The "main" bathroom would end up as 6 ft 6 x 5ft 4!!
The main bathroom would have a 1200mm bath with a shower over bath, as big as we can handbasin as sometimes i wash hair in ours, radiator hung upright and a loo.
It would look roughly like this except a touch smaller and our radiator would be at the left of the wash hand basin. Obviously we would have nicer tiling and and not gold coloured towels!

The loo room would have to have concertina or a narrower than standard outward opening door and one of those loos with the handbasin attached like so:

Both rooms would have windows.
Have not had a builder in yet as we are at the seriously considering stage but we have a fair idea of costs - Im guessing around £8-9k.
What do you think - would it be crazy to do this?
