Which room set-up would you prefer?

We were going to extend our first floor to create a big family bathroom but we think we're just going to use existing space to create a small bathroom/shower room: we're probably not going to be in this house longer than four more years or so, so it's just not worth the hassle and expense.

The question is how to use the space. Which of these would you choose:

A) Bathroom downstairs and walk-in shower room upstairs. (Washing machine and tumble dryer to remain in conservatory)

B) Utility room and toilet downstairs (in place of the bathroom) and walk-in shower room upstairs (ie NO BATH at all)

C) Utility room and toilet downstairs and small bathroom upstairs with small corner bath (1200 by 1200) and shower over bath

Would love some input!

C for me

Definitely c , I wouldn't buy a house where the washer and dryer were in the conservatory as it screams 'there's not enough room here' . I'd have a bathroom company round to do a free quote and design for the small space and see what they come up with , and then just use their ideas .

I'd go for C, closely followed by B. Def not A.

Undoubtedly B
I think baths are squalid.
Can you get a second loo in the upstairs room?

I'm team C!

enolagayits0815 · 06/10/2016 21:19

C. A and b would be a show stopper.

kat088 · 06/10/2016 23:10

another C!

C for me too.
Might be influenced depending on how many bedrooms you have.
A house not having a bath would be a real negative for me when looking to buy, so C, A, B for me.

I like Natty's option D, especially if you fit a standard bath rather than corner one.
