    If I was looking to buy a five bedroom house I wouldn't necessarily want an ensuite bathroom but I'd definitely want a minimum of two full bathrooms.

    OP, a floor plan of the current arrangement, plus your planned alterations, would be helpful.
    A man walked into a car showroom.
    He said to the salesman, “My wife would like to talk to you about the Volkswagen Golf in the showroom window.”
    Salesman said, “We haven't got a Volkswagen Golf in the showroom window.”
    The man replied, “You have now mate".

    So we can give you even more reasons not to split the room in two!

    The ideal ratio is an extra bathroom if you go over 3 beds, so with 5 I would expect 2 (plus a downstairs cloakroom).
