Convert small bedroom into laudry/shower room?

[vera16]

I have turned my 2-bed Victorian into a 4-bed with the addition of a loft room and layout change. The bathroom is now quite small and will only fit a shower bath (a bit of a regret) and the bedroom next door is also quite small at 1.9 x 2.3m. I had a recent valuation and asked the estate agent if I needed an extra shower somewhere to retain value. He said basically do whatever works for you as value won't be affected very much (nice house in very desirable area). Which led me to thinking that what I would really like is an upstairs laundry room and somewhere to dry the clothes out of sight! A walk in shower could also be squeezed in thereby killing 2 birds with one stone. The plumbing is accessible via the bathroom next door. Has anyone done similar? Any opinions? I am still a bit concerned about resale but don't plan to move for a good while.

Good god yes.
upstairs utility room is my dream. I just cannot understand why modern new build houses are being built with them downstairs, why traipse downstairs with baskets of dirty washing only to have to lug them back up once they’re clean.

Do It.

I would love that. If I was viewing a house and it had an upstairs laundry room I'd probably just turn up with my suitcase ready to move in 😄

If the laundry room is upstairs then you still have to go downstairs ( wet washing ) to hang them out to dry ? Then bring them back up . Can’t see if it makes any difference.

Why are they downstairs? Because your washing line is outside. And anyone who insists on tumble drying their washing in summer is being a bit of a twit, it's very thirsty on energy.

Not particularly a fan of an upstairs laundry room. As PP says, you'd need to bring wet washing downstairs to dry outdoors and then back upstairs?. I do all my ironing downstairs as well- watching the TV.
However, it sounds like a super small bedroom anyway - and a laundry room anywhere in the house plus extra shower would be more of an asset to me than a tiny 4th bed.

I do have a laundry chute though so no carrying down, just back up.

I rarely dry my washing outside. Mainly because I can't be bothered to haul it inside every time it starts raining. But this is a good poin. On the other hand I don't use a tumble dryer so just leave washing hanging on drying racks all over the place. Its not a good look. The room has a huge window which gets the sun so with the window open it would be great for drying whites in the summer.
