Small bathroom - can I fit a separate bath & shower?

The house I'm hopefully purchasing has a bathroom with a dormer roof and it's 2.75m long x 1.86m wide.
Due to positions of door & skylight I could only fit a bath/shower on the shorter wall... is it too tight a squeeze? I don't want it to look awful bit I do want to retain a bath in the house.
Is a shaped shower bath my only real option?

We've renovated two bathrooms now and IMO you always get the best results from maximising the usable floor space. Cramming things in will make it claustrophobic and might limit your storage.

If you really want separates, could you convert another room into a shower room?

Smallest "normal" dimensions are 70cm square for a shower cubicle and 170 X 70 for a bath. Both are a bit miserable though unless you are really slim & small. I'd go for 80cm as a minimum. Does the bath need to run along the short wall or could it stick out into the room?

Bath would need to go along long wall but would then block the area under the skylight. Think I'll have to go with a shaped Bath.

a normal bath is about 1700mm long. So there isn't room for a separate shower cubicle along that wall. Perhaps it can go somewhere else.

We’ve got a small family bathroom plus a small but lovely shower room type ensuite ( not always popular but I love it).

In the family bathroom we have a deep short bath with a huge rainfall style shower over the top. Unusual but I think it gives us the best of both worlds, fits our room and is the most luxurious bath we could have in a small bathroom.
