Adding an ensuite

Very basic questions based on a house I've seen that I like, but has a tiny bathroom. If you have a bedroom measuring 15' 1" x 11' 6" (4.62m x 3.53m to chimney breast), could you comfortably fit a small ensuite in there?

    Probably, dependant on plumbing being in the right area of the house. Could you nip into a room or hallway next to it as well?

    You need an internal space of 800mm x app 2000mm to fit in an 800 x 800 shower cubicle, small wall hung wash hand basin and WC. With stud wall, this equates to a 900mm depth.

    The issue is how easy it is to pick ip the waste system fror the other bathroom.

    We took out a fitted wardrobe, built out the same distance and have neat little en suite.

    A curved shower cubicle worked best with a wall-hung basin and a Danielle for the toilet and waste.

    It's great,

    Thanks for your help.

    The room is at the same end of the house as the (small) bathroom so I would *hope* it could be possible. Only problem is the ceilings are slanted in places so think this would affect it.
