Can dear mumsnetters tell me potential drawbacks of this floorplan? I don't know how I can possibly properly use the large bedroom? There is a built-in wardrobe in the room at the moment and the bed is put next to the window. Also is it possible to fit a double in the third bedroom? Your help is highly appreciated

not great needs another bathroom

You'll get a double in the 3rd bedroom.

I'd rip out the fitted wardrobes. They take up loads of space.

Do you need the 4th?

Yes, we still want to keep the 4th bedroom. The fitted wardrobe indeed takes up most of the space in the main bedroom.

Yes you can just about get a double in bedroom 3. Would a small double do?
could you put another shower room in at the bottom end of the main bedroom?

Put an en suite in the main bedroom, where the wardrobes are.

Yes, that’s fine, think hotel rooms!

Twoshoesnewshoes · 02/05/2023 19:45

Just need an extractor fan

DoeRayMe · 02/05/2023 19:45

Most likely not financially viable but I'd move the bathroom to bed 4, make bed 3 a bit bigger and put a bedroom in the loft

mexicanandafewdrinks · 02/05/2023 19:45

can you put a skylight in bathroom?

mexicanandafewdrinks · 02/05/2023 19:46

I like a dark bathroom anyway imo like other said its hotel vibes

，no.one does loft on the street, so I assume loft probably is not high enough

Is the forth bedroom for permanent use or is it a guest room?

It will be for guest use, but it's tiny

Does that mean the skylight will have to go through the loft?

Ideally, I'd do something like this but it could cost a lot with plumbing. It still leaves a dressing area too.

Or possibly even better, make bedroom 2 the principal because it's got a gorgeous bay window and better proportions, so make the en suite come off it instead. Then the bed in the current principal could go against the new wall and face the window.

Both of these ideas are fab

Wow, an eye-opening idea. Many thanks 🌹

You could always run a light tunnel up from the bathroom suggested above, to solve the no-window/no-daylight issue. Run it up through the loft. We have one and it's brilliant. You can vent a decent fan upwards as well.
