Where to put in a shower

[RhiRC]

We’ve recently moved to a 3-bed house with bathroom upstairs and downstairs loo.
I’m disabled and my mobility isn’t great so the shower over bath we have upstairs is a bit tricky. We don’t want to get rid of the bath and swap it for a walk in shower so are looking for alternatives to put in an extra, accessible, shower somewhere.
There’s space to convert the downstairs loo into a bathroom with shower (or more feasibly a wet room), but there may also be space for us to put a small en suite in the master bedroom. This would cost quite a bit more since the plumbing is already present in the loo. Would people be put off when we come to sell by having a shower downstairs or could it be seen as a bonus?

The cupboard in the master bedroom is actually a lift shaft coming up from the living room (though the lift isn’t installed so for now it’s just storage). It would be useful to still be able to access it in case we ever get it turned back into a lift for me if my mobility gets worse

anything that isn’t clear let me know ☺️

shower downstairs is a big bonus (muddy hobbies, muddy dogs...)

though wet rooms are a pita to clean if not well designed

That’s true, I think we’d still have a shower enclosure with glass panel (on at least one side) etc but flat entry so as long as it’s built right hopefully the rest of the room wouldn’t actually get too wet

What is the big letter t? Surely that is the obvious place. Move the bathroom door to the other side of the t cupboard so that that cupboard is inside the bathroom and put a shower in there. There should be water pipes nearby and it should be relatively easy to get waste water out too.

That’s the hot water tank, thinking about it it probably can be moved and we’d just lose the airing cupboard next to it but would need to get some quotes for it. A really good suggestion though - thanks!

I would do as PP and make the main bathroom bigger. Get rid of the tank and Airing Cupboard, put a door in the hallway by your bedroom door and you will have more than enough room for a walk in shower. Will be a really big bathroom then.

If you have an old boiler then you could switch to a combi boiler and then you won't need a tank at all.
