5 bed or 4 bed - and what master/en-suite layout?
Comments (12)Do you plan to have a double bed in each room including your master? Having a 4 bedroom house, can give you the space to have a super king in your master bedroom which would balance the space out. Going with the 4 bedroom idea and having a larger master en-suite - it feels like there is a lot of empty unusable corridor space. I think this could be tweaked to make it a fabulous space... Just a brief look at your space, you have 3 wardrobes - could you make the middle one a door into the en-suite, allowing you to have a larger rectangle walk in shower opposite the bath. You could have also have drawers / dressing table on the wall as you come into the bedroom. Think about where the door to the master bedroom would be as it would ideally be balanced around the windows in the corridor. Presuming the windows are fixed. Could bedroom 2 have the door where the 5 bedroom layout is allowing more space for your bedroom door? The A/C cupboard - do you need it? Could you make it wider and smaller depth or a wardrobe for yourselves? It's a little difficult without measurements to work it all out... This is an example of the idea I suggested above. (We are towards the end of renovating our place and we changed it from 5 bed to a 4 but added an en-suite into each room. We don't miss the useless little box room!)...See MorePlease help.

Comments (10)Initial thought is that 74x74 is a very small shower cubicle. In my work I’m currently involved in specifying a bathroom refit and we have rejected the proposed 80x80 as we feel it’s too small. We’ve asked for 80x100 instead, or more ideally 90x100. But one can only work with the space one has of course. Avoiding the step up is doable, provided the waste can be sunk low enough. Depends on the structure of the floor. It’s often much easier/cheaper to go with the raised tray. We’re having a new shower room at home and the floor is being designed so the tray can be sunk down so it’s almost level with the floor. But that’s the advantage of installing in a new section of building! Angie...See MoreEn-suite - Walk in wardrobe design dilemma
Comments (10)Thanks so much for taking the time to respond Jonathan, I really appreciate the input. My husband is kind of set on a balcony as we can see the river and he wants to be able to sit there with a cup of tea 😜. I don’t mind either way really, I just didn’t want to have chairs in the bedroom as I thought that would look odd? Your ideas have brought up an issue in my mind though about the balcony/possible seating for this view and the fact that we will need to keep moving it around when we open and close the doors. With the side window, the house is under a national trust covenant and so the side window is really there to look a little more aesthetically pleasing and to match downstairs. I know it seems to waste that whole wall though....See More2 beds and bathroom in loft or master suite?
Comments (4)I think if it’s not your for- ever home then speak to an estate agent. It may be worth opting for the two rooms and a bathroom. One of the rooms could be made suitable for a home office - very popular as more and more people work from home. We recently finished a loft conversion and put 2 bedrooms each with an en-suite in the attic rather than a single master suite....See MoreCraig Donald
