Ground floor bathroom dilemma

3 years ago

last modified: 3 years ago

I really like this mid-terraced property but what fusses me was the fact that the ground floor bathroom's entrance is facing the kitchen directly and it blocks sunlight entering into the kitchen.

I wonder if there are any smart solutions to tackle these without significant cost.

I was thinking may be I can move the toilet leftward so that I can make the new bathroom entrance no the right hand side?

I was also thinking maybe I can build a conservatory on the right hand side of the kitchen to get more sunlight. Many neighbours have done a warp-around rear extension so it should be possible in terms of planning permission. That said I guess I will then have to remove the wall between the will-be conservatory and the kitchen? I probably will also have to relocate the kitchen cabinets and stuff?

Welcome for any expertise! Thanks a lot.

I wonder if a bathroom could be put between these bedrooms - if the entrance to bedrooms and bathrooms changed a bit ? Sorry for rubbish drawing - as not on my usual phone atm .

Thanks for the idea OnePlan. This is interesting and yes the entrance of bedrooms can probably be altered to accommodate this.

Having said that, it is a mid-terraced house so I guess the getting the plumbing fitted on the first floor will be quite some work and hence expensive? Sorry I forgot to mention that in my original post.

I think the best thing to do is use boards that looks like mosaic tiles, it's from ABBuilding supplies, you can stick it over tiles and then the furniture. It's very cost effective.

Lovely. Makes a pleasant change not to see a bathroom smothered in tiles.

Thanks pjbell! My first thought was 'no way, we use bedroom 2 and can't lose it - far too radical'. But then I stopped and looked and actually, that may well be worth considering! All bedrooms are in use - bedroom 2 is our studio/craft room/office. Kids are in the back bedroom and top floor. I've got my heart set on an en-suite and keeping our large bedroom but have been mindful of making the studio too small so was opting for a small shower room. I've been pondering if there is anything we could do to have a larger family bathroom but couldn't see how. This could give a large family bathroom and more luxurious en-suite. The back room is south facing so would be much better for a studio - its worth seeing the size if we split into two bedrooms. I do like the fact that all bedrooms are decent doubles and wouldn't want them much smaller. We are going to be here for the next 10-15 years and will then look to downsize when the kids have flown the nest. This will be the only major work we'll do so although it needs to be right for us, I also want it to be as appealing as possible to the next family. Definitely food for thought - thanks!

I would really appreciate some 'tile' advice.I live in 2 bedroomed 1930's terraced house. I want to update my bathroom but have a dilemma. The wall tiles surrounding the bath need to be replaced. The problem is that I can't seem to find ones that tone in with my current floor (mix of black and an off cream). I have already picked up some samples of cream metro tiles, slate black ones and other colours such as green and blue.Would I just be better off changing the floor tiles as well or should I just go for a complete overhaul?I will post a picture shortly to give you an idea.
