I don't quite understand your options- are you planning to move the toilet or leave it where it is? In my opinion it isn't worth taking space off the master to make bedroom 3 a little bit bigger so I'd go for option 2 (and put toilet where sink is)

I've been mulling over this one .... I'd like to see the plumbing going outside rather than down though the extension downstairs.. ...so probably the extension housing the 2 ensuites, dressing area AND the family bathroom so you can increase the back bedroom in size and create a walk way to new family bathroom ... I think .... This is one to come back to on my coffee break later I think !!! As I still think the smallest bedroom doesn't benefit ? And in an ideal world I'd try to either make that bigger or repurpose it as the dressing room instead ?!

Hi - without seeing a ground ( or further lower ) floor plan - its tricky to work out which are supporting walls - and assuming the current ensuite to the left side bedroom has proper soil pipe and not just a saniflow type system - something like this may even out the bedrooms a little - it sticks to your brief of one slightly larger bathroom and one ensuite ... so this is just a concept to mull over ... (Green boxes are wardrobe space !) [marketing note : this is an example of our sketch consult service - normally chargeable at £35per hour -but happily given FOC to this Houzzer in this instance.

Hi Vicky, I think painting the units will definitely make a difference to the kitchen before you have your extension done and that wont be expensive to do, a pastel colour maybe might look nice with the worktop and tiles? Also with the flooring in your bathroom, the cork i agree needs to be changed, you could look at a sheet vinyl which can be put on top of the cork but not give a perfect finish and it would have to be cut around the pedestal and tray which may be fiddly. Some less expensive tiles would work or a karndean effect flooring which can be stuck down, all those options shouldn't be to expensive to do. Have a look at some of these websites for colour options. https://www.vusta.co.uk/catalogue/category/browse-floors_1/ http://www.carpettradecentre.co.uk/karndean-flooring-basingstoke/

You've got your mind made up already, am I right? So mostly for fun I puzzled to get some beds and closets in there, plus 4 somewhat functional ensuites. Room 1 is the master bedroom, with a double sink and shower, plus a decent amount of closet space. Room 2 and 3 for the kids, perhaps one bathroom with a tub. And room 4 could be a guest room or a study.

Thank you for the feedback. We are planning to make the third bedroom bigger by taking the toilet space in the room. Agree with your idea in that case we may only hv a 3pc bathroom suite

Unfortunately moving the wc and basin isn't going to make a great deal of difference. The area that the three bedrooms and the bathroom remains essentially the same and by the time that you take into account the amount of floor space that is occupied by doors swings there is little to be gained. If you are really considering gaining extra space have you considered replacing the bath with a shower. Therefore reducing the size of the bathroom and increasing the size of bed 3. A more radical approach might be an extension or loft conversion.
