It's a good idea to keep both the shower and the bath, like Jonathan already mentioned, there's plenty of space. This is just a quick sketch for one possible layout, that could work with minimal renovation works. We always suggest our clients to leave to toilet where it is, because it's usually a hassle to move it around. So we would install a shower like you had in mind, along the back wall. And then rip out the existing shower and cupboard and fit a freestanding bath instead. The washbasin would stay where it is. And there is probably space for a tall towel heater on the right hand side from the door. If you decide to go ahead with the house, give us a call and we can arrange a free consultation visit, where you'll meet one of our designer expert who will take measurements of the bathroom, evaluate the condition of the bathroom and come up with a great personalised design/quote that works for you. We can also supply the tiles and sanitary ware and get our team of builders to start working on your project from start to finish, so you don't have to worry about anything. https://www.designangels.co.uk/start-renovation Good luck with everything!

Both Hansgrohe and (Friedrich) Grohe are German companies; Friedrich was a son of Hans who went on his own in the 1930s, so they share a certain heritage. These days, Grohe is larger and no longer family owned. Both produce outside Germany as well as on their original German sites still. Both produce "basic" and "high-end" ranges. They're both regarded well back home in Germany, much of the choice is down to personal preference. Hansgrohe is on average slightly more expensive (but not on everything). They also own the Axor design brand which has a more "ecletic" selection. One can mix-and-match; in our bath (bit messy, sorry - we're using it for the washing up while waiting for the kitchen to be installed), the mixer is Grohe as is the shower wall outlet, the shower rail and head shower arm (just above the shower screen) are Hansgrohe pieces. At least the chromed finishes are very close for the two: Both can be sourced well below retail list prices - if you're prepared to wait, German online sellers for bathroom goods tend to have many-months delivery timelines. For Grohe essentials (the classical Grotherm mixers) at least, any German DIY shop stocks these at very attractive prices (the difference to the UK retail price list will pay for the ferry ticket and fuel).

I don’t think it works for several reasons. Freestanding bath sit best in the middle of a wall or window. I also think there is insufficient space to clean the floor around the bath, I think it will annoy you to splash the outside of the shower cubicle with bath water, it’s a pity to not be able to have a sink mirror because it’s got a window where the mirror would go. And I prefer not to see the WC first when entering a bathroom. You could substitute a panel bath for the freestanding one which would help because they take up less space but I I think you have to ask yourself where there is room for the dresser and whether the room would be easier to use with a replan
