Upstairs bathroom

[Aloya1989]

Hi all! My husband and I recently bought a 3bed mid-terraced Victorian house and it only has a downstairs bathroom off the kitchen as seen in the plans with 3 bedrooms upstairs. We have two kids so we need the 3 bedrooms but want to add an upstairs bathroom but not sure how to do it.. I’m of the opinion that we move the bathroom to the small bedroom and do a loft conversion although I will need to check that it’s not going to cost more that the house is worth since we are only planning to stay here 3-5 years! My husband thinks we should leave downstairs as it is and just add a narrow showeroom in the middle bedroom. My worry is that this will make bedroom 2 feel like a large single as it already has a chimney breast and boiler cupboard not shown on the plans. It will also leave the house with a small showroom (right location but small) and a downstairs bathroom (wrong location but good size!). Anyone resolved this and what were the costs involved??

Thanks in advance

I can't see the room dimensions but my gut instinct is to trim a bit off bedroom 2 to make an upstairs toilet & sink off the landing and keep the main bathroom downstairs. It's the going to the loo in the night, particularly with kids, that is the issue that really needs resolving IMO.

I have a downstairs bathroom. It's fine. Handy in fact when cooking and chucking kids in shower.
We added an upstairs toilet and sink to what was a cupboard.
It's tiny but makes life much easier as no stairs in the night for half asleep children.
Like you say though, the space taken from bedroom 2 s long and thin so adding a shower as well probably doesn't make a lot of difference.
Is there an option for built in storage either side of the fireplace to maximise other space in that room?

We had the same layout in our old house.
We took a piece out of bedroom1 and bedroom 2 and slotted a bathroom in the space. We managed to fit in a toilet, sink and bath with shower over.
Both bedrooms were still doubles.

The kitchen then got knocked through into the old bathroom with french doors opening onto the patio

Thank you so much guys your comments have been so useful :)

Yeap nip a bit off bedroom 2. A bathroom does not need a window. Do a sun tube if you need light. Location depends which way your joists run as svp needs to run between them to rear
