bath or shower ?

If I replace my bath with a double walk in shower will it reduce the price of my property?
my bathroom is very small and would look stunning a double shower put in across the whole of one wall at the mo my bathroom is downstaires i am going to move it stairs to a box room it will make my home into a two bedroom house :beer:

So at the minute is a one bed house and this conversion will make it into a two bed house with a shower-room, and no bath.

then you will have one bedroom upstairs and shower room upstairs, and one bedroom downstairs??

I would be very wary of removing a bedroom when you already have a bathroom (albeit downstairs)

Most people with small children will want to have a bath in the house. My DD is 10 and still loves a bath.

swapping a bath for a shower won't lose the house value - although might put some off

But losing a bedroom will lose it value.

Is there any way you can add an en-suite to one of the larger bedrooms and keep the box room?

thanks for clarification. I think, given at the moment it would appeal to a family as well as other people changing to not only two bedroom, but also without a bathroom, you could be losing a large market doing what you are.

if you have no intention of selling then doesn't matter if it suits you to do the work, but as a family i wouldn't even consider your house for both reasons no matter how nice it was.

I wouldn't consider a house without a bath, and you'll lose lots of thousands by going from a three bed to a two bed.

I personally detest showers so I wouldnt consider a house without a bath.
Whats a double shower? is that where 2 people can get in at once?.
If your that bothered about one, just get one over the bath.

Took our bath out, didn't use it, don't like it, haven't missed it in the eight years we've had a top of the range shower. Couldn't care less if my house is devalued as I'm not selling it. Do what you want And what suits you OP.
