    I'd rather have a 4 bedroom house with a big nice bathroom than a 5 bedroom house with a small bathroom.

    Not many people actually need 5 bedrooms and the bigger families who really do need 5 bedrooms will discard your property anyways because of the lack of bathrooms.

    Convert a bedroom to a bathroom, do it up nice and with classy style, and you'll never lose value.
    This was our thinking. With the way the bathroom is now bath times feel a little cramped when we’re all in there together. My husband can’t lie properly in the bath and he loves a weekly Bath.

    Don't all have a bath at the same time?

    😂 I meant in the bathroom together and not in  the bath. We tend to do bath times with our two year old together and get ready at the same time so can feel a little cramped.

    Thanks every one for your comments. It won’t let me add a picture but the layout is very similar to the 1st floor layout of these properties

    we’d be looking to do what I think they’ve done here but instead of keeping a toilet we’d just make it into a office. 


    You could also look at getting a quote to move the wall between current bathroom and your proposed bathroom if you want to make the bathroom larger without moving it, or move it but make the office a bit bigger.
