This talk of removing the en suite reminds me of a conversation I had with a guy about 50 years ago. His house didn't have enough bedrooms so he was planning to convert the upstairs  and only bathroom back to a bedroom. There was I believe, a downstairs outside WC.

I get that removing the en-suite isn’t an ideal solution for when we come to sell the house but having had many conversation, our priority is going to be making the house right for us right now. Ultimately, the en-suite is a stud wall with a shower on it and another with a door (yes it’s not quite that simple) but what I’m getting at is that it won’t be all that difficult to put back later when we come to sell the house and as there’s no other viable alternative in terms of relocating the en-suite, there’s not a great deal we can do about it. 

I think you missed the point of my post!

I’ve read and re-read your post and still don’t get it?

Remove your en suite (which for you is a sensible move) and you would still have a bathroom. People would still buy your house as there are plenty of 4 beds with only 1 bathroom (I've lived in two).


Removing your only bathroom (which is what this guy wanted to do) is not a sensible move as not many people would want to buy a house without a bathroom. To put it more into context in the 1970s people were modernising older houses left, right and centre, by adding or installing bathrooms, they were not removing them.


What you intend to do is not a stupid idea, what that guy wanted to do was.
