Downstairs layout for rental

[Ihatenicknames]

You gave me some excellent advice on the past regarding the upstairs layout for a property I am developing for the rental market.

It has three bedrooms upstairs with a family bathroom and en suite shower room. As you can see from the plans, there is a downstairs bedroom/study. We have room for a bathroom/ shower room next door. Do you think I should do this or just make it a loo with storage? I'm not a fan of downstairs bathrooms but wonder if it may be sensible should guests stay etc. Thanks

I would make it into a shower or bathroom. More options for potential tenants.

yeah I'd make it a shower-loo-tility

Definitely shower room. Not only is it handy for the person sleeping in the downstairs bedroom, even with a 3 bed house it’s handy to have a second shower if someone is hogging it. Also handy for muddy dogs that you don’t want to take upstairs.

Excellent points. A shower and loo it is. There is a separate utility. Many thanks.

Is the property in am area where it's likely to appeal to housesharers,or is it more of a family area?

For a family, I'd have thought that two showers would be okay, but a third would be a nice-to-have. For housesharers in a 3/4 bed house, a third shower seems like a mist-have.
