Big bathroom/small study or vice versa?!

We're in the process of finalising layout for a fairly sizeable renovation project. The end result will have four double bedrooms upstairs - two large, two slightly smaller. We then have two upstairs rooms left over:

  • a small 1.8x1.9m room on the half landing which is currently going to become bathroom (second shower room downstairs of similar dimensions)
  • a larger 3.1x1.9m room, currently a single bedroom, which we had intended to be a study, but could also be used as a dressing room or nursery as it's right next to the master bedroom.

With a bit of plumbing jiggery-pokery we could switch these round fairly easily.

House is Edwardian and in a suburban part of a big city, conservation area with excellent schools and access to amazing countryside. Big kitchen diner, decent sized living room and masses of potential to do even more - extensions etc. We've realised it's not geographically where we want to be long term, so we're trying to optimize it to have wide appeal when it comes to resale in a few years.

So, if you were in the market for this sort of house, would you rather have:
A. two small bathrooms and a big study, or
B. one big and one small bathroom, and a small study?!

I'd go for the big bathroom for sure!

My bathroom is so tiny if someone opens the door while I'm mid pee my legs get bashed.
I long for the day I can have a bigger bathroom just for that reason Grin

Noooo, use the bigger room for a study and keep with a small bathroom.

Big bathrooms might look flashy but you do not really need a lot of space but a dedicated study if you run your own business/work from home needs more than just a desk and can also make the house an attractive proposition. Also easy to change a study not easy to change a bathroom. Why not research what neighbours have done, have a look online, ask an estate agent.
