Can anybody help me plan a bathroom design?

I have an awkward shape room upstairs in a bungalow that i am trying to convert to a bathroom.

I tried to do a drawing on sketchup but finding it too hard. Floor diameters are 1800mm wide and 3m10 long. Door is 117cm in from the right, 68.5cms wide and 217cms the other side.

The problem is the sloping roofs on the outside wall.

I was thinking bath across the width 1700-17?? tucked up one end, toilet on outside wall somewhere, but i have to fit in a basin and a seperate shower and a radiator.

Outside wall is 54cm high before it slopes upwards. Then i have 80cms flat ceiling to the inner wall.

Worth a shot incase anybody can roughly visualise this.

  • How do you get an upstairs room in a bungalow? Is it a loft conversion?

    Blimey that is an odd shaped room .
    Would moving the door be possible. And if so would it give you room on another wall for the bath ?
  • Put the taps on the side of the bath or on the side wall & the drainage in the centre.

    Door has been moved as it was far right, but this seemed the better place. Door will probably open outward into hallway.

    I did think about taps central and against the wall but why drainage in centre??? Also would it be a problem to have taps far end as it would make sense to have headroom at the other. Where i have drawn the lines is not an accurate height so there would be enough room to get taps on top.
  • You don't want people stooping down to do the taps or operate/pull the plug.

    If you put the drainage (plug hole) at the other end people will be sitting on it. Therefore it needs to be central.

    Thanks, i will measure the exact height, but i think the end will be fine for taps as there is a bit of room above, just didn't know if you meant for another reason.
