Location of the only bath tub in the house

[Roofies]

I bought a semi detached 4 bedroom house a couple of years ago. 2 of the bedrooms are quite small and have eaves which limit usable space. I am looking to create space in a first floor bedroom by taking space from the adjoining family bath, for which I would have to remove the bath tub from it (it has a separate shower cubicle which would remain). At present both the family bathroom and the master en suite have bath tubs - both of which are hardly ever used.

Would I be impacting the value of the house when selling, if the only bath tub is in the master en suite? If I were buying a house, this wouldn't matter to me as long as there was a bath tub for the children's bath, but I appreciate others may feel differently. I would definitely value a larger room more than a bath tub, while I am living in this house.

I wanted to extend the room over the ground floor utility side extension but it looks like that will be quite expensive since the current foundations will not take the weight of a first floor extension.

Thank you.

I have young kids and wouldn't care where the bath was providing there was one.

It wouldn't bother me personally. The only time I could imagine it bothering someone is if they had teenagers. It's a shame you can't due to the layout take the bath out of the en suite rather than the bathroom.

@Michele09 yes, that would have been ideal. But the en suite doesn't share a wall with that bedroom. I'm going to check the cost now. Don't know if teenagers use bath tubs. My 12 year old seems to spend 5 minutes in the shower every day, to my despair, and probably hasn't sat in the tub for 2 years now.

Mine still does at 16 but maybe it's being a girl.

Lol, mine is a girl too. I'm going to tell her what other girls do!

Before we moved, one of our thoughts was to change the family bathroom to remove the bath and install a walk in double shower. There was a bath and shower in the en suite.

As long as there’s a bath in one of them, I don’t think it matters.

It would bother me. My autistic teenage son only likes baths, not showers, and often takes them late at night. We have an ensuite with a shower and a bath and shower in the family bathroom. I wouldn't want him going through my bedroom to access the ensuite, and especially not after we've gone to bed.
