You could put another bathroom in the top right bedroom and have 3 bedrooms?

Is the house detached?

GU24Mum · 05/08/2024 08:59

what is the ground floor plan like ie are any rooms above water/soil pipes?

I think you'd potentially end up massively compromising a bedroom and making a small bathroom unless you can lose a bedroom?

It is easier and cheaper to tie in to existing plumbing. You have a sink in top left bedroom. Could you steal that alcove and a bit of either that bedroom or top right bedroom, remove walls between bath and we and create two out of the new larger space?

Dimensions would help. Costs would depend on wall type and where you are Also whether existing sanitary ware could be reused.

Edited; you would need to lose the cupboard too.

Generally the cheapest way of doing it is to do the minimum plumbing over a house - which is why a bathroom / toilet on one floor will usually have a toilet above it. What’s your ground floor like? Is there a toilet downstairs? If so where is it?

its difficult because the easiest place for a new toilet would be top left / top right - near the existing plumbing but as you have big windows that wouldn’t be possible.

A nice place might be in the top left bedroom. You put a small shower room where some of the build in cupboards are. (Or a loft extension with the plumbing going up from the existing bathroom)

I would try to work with the bathroom space you already have to keep costs down, but this would probably involving shifting the windows over and would mean losing your landing cupboard.

You could either shift the existing bathroom over and enlarge it slightly to incorporate a toilet or reduce it and have it as an ensuite shower room for the biggest bedroom. If you retain it as a family bathroom, you could have the one you create on the right as either an ensuite for that bedroom or just a separate shower room.

Neither room would be huge, hard to tell as there are no dimensions on your plan, but it looks like something like this might be doable.
