    Ah I see what you mean. I don't think that would work unfortunately because the bath is too wide to go lengthways. This is the floor plan:

    We don't want to lose any of the bedrooms or make any of them smaller, so we're looking for a non-structural solution to make the bathroom look better/bigger and the bath not to look so weird. Not sure that there is one though!!

    Put a shower cubical in the end of the L bit (where the taps are shown on the plan. Sink and toilet on the north wall, and bath down the left hand side...if that will fit.

    The only issue for me would be reaching the taps. If the taps were central it would look better. The unused space in the top left is ideal for a laundry basket, open shelving for towels and toiletries etc.

    Oh yes! How do you reach the taps?! Must be really awkward!

    I didn't mean you should move the bath at all. I'm assuming that the bath is at the same level as the landing so there must be a void over the stairs. If you put a sloping ceiling over the stairs and take out the wall at the side of the bath that void will be in the bathroom. You should be able to create a 'faux' vanity unit at the side of the bath.
