Help with rejigging layout with shower and loft bathroom

Help!

We're planning an extension and re-jigger the layout of our very narrow house. The house is a typical narrow old victorian terrace in London. Currently the full bathroom is on the ground floor, in the back of the ground floor. And there's an ensuite shower in the loft.

With the extension, we're thinking of removing the full bath from the ground floor, changing the shower in the loft into a shower/bath and adding a shower to the 1st floor. Due to the narrowness of the house, it's difficult to put a full bath without compromising the rooms. But I really dislike having the full bath on the ground floor in favor of a larger kitchen / dining area.

Thoughts on:

Whether its weird to have a full bath in the loft and a shower-only room on the 1st floor? Would this be an issue with kids? (we don't have any but plan to)
Fitting a shower/bath in the loft feels changing with the slanted roof. My husband is tall so finding the right spot for the toilet is a bit challenging. Ideas would be welcome here!

Any advice would be helpful, thanks in advance!

We are still working on our new house, there is currently a bath with a glass half screen that is totally useless. The water bounces off whoever is showering past the screen and over the toilet, the floor, the ceiling, and it's only a half tiled wall so the wallpaper is peeling. I've considered the P or d shaped baths which give a larger section at one end in which to stand when using the shower and I've seen there are matching curved glass screens to go with them. Two points to consider. 1. If you are not planning on staying a shower could be a good selling point, the water saving of a shower versus a bath. Our last bath hardly saw a look in during 16 years and although it was a lovely deep double ended steel bath it gathered dust and the shower was definately the go-to choice. 2. I am now considering the usability of the bathroom for an elderly relative who has had a stroke, likes baths, but may not be able to get into, or out of one, with dignity intact. I'm thinking that a large walk in shower with additional wall jets could be a good option and the upscale could be a wow factor. Although you may not be in the same position you can never have enough forward planning.

Morning! Thanks @ MATM I think both bath and shower are definitely too cramped. Would the quadrant shower work better in that corner though than a square one? And will give enough space to walk in and around? Otherwise we have a 1200 long shower we can re-use so was thinking of putting that on the left wall with maybe the wc at the end or just storage space and having the wc on the right and sink on the back wall. I'm also working on an alternative room plan to try and make the room bigger so will come back and post the sizes of it works (just waiting on confirmation from a specialist today!)

The soil pipe for the toilet will be the most costly thing to move so this will have to be your first exploration. I would look at stealing a bit of the bedrooms and putting a bathroom between the bedrooms with a jack and Jill door so that you can be completely private if you have guests. Then you can turn your current bathroom into downstairs toilet and utility/coat and shoe storage room.

Previous houses I've used a steel (so solid Bett Set) square end bath with shower at one end. I know you said separate shower - but a cluttered/claustrophobic room may not be worth it. It always useful to have the space after getting out to dry off rather than feeling cramped.
