Renovate en-suite at the same time as bedroom?

5 years ago

Two years after moving in we are finally doing our bedroom. Wardrobes, carpets, lighting the works.

We have a small en-suite which whilst relatively new isn’t great and my partner and I are constantly bumping into each other (the door is in the way). So we are thinking about replacing the door with a pocket one. If we get that done then I’m tempted to fix some of the issues with the bathroom, and bring it in keeping with the bedroom.

So should I live with it the bathroom as it is, saving the money for the other things we want to work on?

Or should is it better to do it all now and have a room/space that is truly ‘done’?

Save the money for the other millions things that need doing around the house and live with a sub optimal bathroom

Splash the cash on the bathroom and have one room properly ‘done’

I think I might have misread the poll when voting.

I say get the plumbers dirty boots on the carpet you intend to skip not the new one

Depends what they want the third bedroom for. If an office space 2 singles may be fine. If a guest room would a single work? Could they knock the 2 bedrooms together to make 2 decent doubles?

Hello Claire, not sure why no one has answered this. How much do you want to spend is the main question? I would open out across the back of the house incorporating some of the grey room and hall. That would give Kitchen dining living with a snug living space at the front. Add some bifold or cheaper sliding doors across the back in the dining living section. If doors are glass into this area from the hall, that can be a nice feature to be able to see right through as you enter the house. The downstairs loo can go underneath the stairs as drainage looks to be on that side. Alternatively, turn around the bottom of the stairs as winders and fit the loo in next to the porch. The en-suite at first floor could be a narrow strip in between the two large bedrooms. or sacrifice one of the smaller bedrooms.

Thanks for all your replies - I really appreciate it. We do currently need all four bedrooms as we have 3 children. Whether it is our forever home really depends on how much we can expand. It is a semi detached 1930s property. The current owners have already extended to the side to create a fourth bedroom downstairs and have extended to the rear for a bigger kitchen. We are hoping to eventually extend on top of the current side extension - I'm guessing if we did that we could make bedroom four bigger and build in to it to create the en-suite? Here is the whole floor plan
