Recently moved into a 1970s doer-upper and, tbh, am not sure whether I want to stay. Maybe I'll like it when it's "done" - who knows? As things stand, there seems like a real possibility that I might sell up as soon as the renovation is finished and hopefully make a bit of a profit.
Anyway, first big job is to sort the hideous bathroom. Got the typical old-fashioned layout of separate wc in room with no basin, then room next door with bath and washbasin. I had originally thought to knock into one large bathroom with bathtub, separate shower, washbasin and wc. But now I'm wondering if keeping two rooms might be bettert after all? The rooms are actually slightly larger than the average bathroom of this period, meaning I could manage to fit a basin in the wc, and put an additional toilet in the main bathroom if I went for a shower bath instead of separate walk-in shower and bathtub. Judging by my neighbours, if I were to sell in the next five years or so, it would most likely to be to a young family. I much prefer the idea of a separate bathtub and shower, but wondering whether an additional wc would be more attractive to a family with young children? So what would be better - larger, more luxurious bathroom or smaller, still nice, bathroom with combined bath and shower, but with a spare loo next door?
