Is there a way to improve this bathroom layout?

[Isanyonereallyanonymous]

It's a bathroom layout one.
I viewed a house today, loved downstairs and outside but upstairs felt cramped.

Bedroom 1 is quite overlooked so I would prefer to use bedroom 2 as my actual bedroom.

The bedrooms are big enough for a double bed and bedside tables but not much else.
I reckon I could add storage to what is currently bedroom 1 and would only be used as a guest room anyway to counteract that (bedroom 3 becoming an office. Also an option to add storage there)

So I can resolve the bedroom problem.
But the bathroom.
It feels so cramped and tiny.
A bath is non-negotiable, otherwise replacing it with a big walk in shower is the obvious solution.
Currently the toilet and sink are the wrong way around too.
So, wise mumsnetters, is there anything I could do to improve the bathroom layout to make it a space I'd actually want to relax in?

(Floorplan and photo are attached, just pending review) It looks quite light in the photo but wasn't in reality.

I can see why you think the toilet & sink are the wrong way around, but actually I wouldn't swap them. You've much more space around both the toilet & bath that way around.

you could look at getting the window moved if that bothers you.

the wall to the right of the door doesn't look wide enough to put the e bath under the window.

Because of the stairs you can't move the bathroom door (unless you're ok with having in the bedroom (which would be a bad move for re-selling).

Changing bathrooms inexpensive. You want a bath, so I don't think there's anything you can do about the layout. it's a nice enough neutral bathroom. I'd just live with it. (Despite not liking those units where the sink & toilet are housed together).

I was very disappointed I couldn't change my bathroom to how I'd envisaged it, so I do understand x

I would definitely swap the position of the sink and toilet, mostly because I would want my toilet roll holder on the wall!

Is there scope to move the entire bathroom into bedroom 3? If you only plan to use that as an office you could instead use it as a larger space for a bathroom and use the existing bathroom as a smaller office.

If not, is it possible to extend the bathroom even a little out over the edge of the stairs? Even a small extension there could give you some storage space for towels, toiletries, etc. It doesn’t look currently like there is anywhere to put “stuff”.

Re the bedrooms, if you plan to use bedroom 2 yourself and have bedroom 1 for occasional guests/storage, then I would take all three of the built-in cupboards and knock them through into each other as one big build-in wardrobe for bedroom 2. Either that or knock them all out and have the extra floor space for bedroom 2.

I think the current layout is about as good as you get. Put a mirror over the sink to make the room feel bigger.

If you are happy owning a two bed then as @Quizzled says, where is the kitchen? Could bed 3 become a bathroom and the current bathroom a small office?

re layout, there isn’t anything you can really do but you could re do it to help it feel better. Colour, mirrors, big tiles etc

If you remove the inbuilt cupboards behind the sink and loo, and replace with wall mounted sink with drawers underneath, it might feel larger because the floor space is larger. Pic attached of the sort of thing.
For more cupboard space you could have something on the wall at the foot end of the bath?

Perhaps a long mirror down the right hand wall too?

Looks like you might be able to knock out all the cupboards between the bedrooms, move the wall over so bedroom 2 is rhe same aize as bedroom 1. Then you could move the door to bedroom 2 over toward bedroom 1. And then you could extend the bathroom by however much you can move the door over.

In the bathroom is there enough width to put the bath under the window?

Thanks everyone.
There's some really good ideas but I've decided it's not for me. I'm not in any rush and I'm trying to find a long term home and the upstairs space along with being fairly overlooked was just a bit of compromise too far. However some good ideas if I do find the right one further down the line!

You're asking one small room to do storage and a proper soak at the same time, which is where the floor space keeps running out. One thing nobody's mentioned: a shorter 1500mm or even 1400 bath buys you room at the tap end, and a P-shaped or curved-end bath gives you a wider bathing area without eating the whole floor, so you keep the bath and claw back some breathing space. The other quiet win is going up: the wall above the loo and along that right-hand side is dead space, so tall narrow units or a recessed niche in the stud wall get the towels and bottles off the floor and stop the room reading as cramped. If you're ripping it out anyway, is it worth roughing in a level-access shower tray while the floor's up, so a future you isn't paying twice?
