Would you rather have an ensuite with more floor space - shower & large double vanity

Or less floor space but shower and a bath, smaller vanity still double but smaller.

Main bathroom has a bath & shower.

I suppose the question is spacious shower room or second bathroom?!

Spacious shower room unless a bath taker wants to get away from other users of the main bathroom!

I would want a double shower as a priority.

I’d take a bath and separate shower over a single oversized shower... mostly because I quite like taking a bath to relax (wine, candles, etc) and using the kids’ tub isn’t exactly a spa-like experience. I want my own clean and tidy bathing sanctuary. I know lots of people are ‘over’ having a tub in the ensuite, but if I were looking to buy a house with a master ensuite, I’d be hope to find one with a tub. I think it really boils down to how much you personally would use it, though. I know loads of people who never take baths, so obviously the bigger shower seems a prudent choice for them!

For an ensuite I'd prefer a shower with double vanity and more floor space.

As long as the main bathroom had shower and bath I don't think it's necessary for an ensuite.

If i had a bath elsewhere definitely a bigger shower in the ensuite. I shower everyday, I have a bath about once a month.

Depends on the size of the en suite. My main En suite is bigger then my main bathroom. Therefore we have a lovely bath, walk in shower and a 1m long sink with two taps. Lots of storage too. It’s great. We are a multi bathroom house, so we just had what we wanted.

Large shower if main bathroom has a bath in it . We have double sinks in the en- suite - dont see the point and will go back to 1 sink when we revamp in a few weeks time

Depends if you're a bather. I persuaded DH to get a bath in our en suite and love that I can have a bath in peace without being surrounded by toys as DS bathes in the other bathroom. It's a nice calm grown up bathroom for me to relax in on a Sunday night.

We’ve never had an ensuite before & never actually had a separate bath & shower so I already feel super upgraded!

But the ensuite needs re doing. Just don’t know what is best for the future sale. Or is it not a deal breaker?
