Hello S C,

Exciting news. Congratulations.

We work on this type of dilemma as a layout package and the first thing I would ask is the dimensions of these areas:

I would think you can do something here to get a WC in this space for the Master bedroom. This area is above the downstairs bathrooms and WC so shouldn't be an issue, they are also outside walls and don't detract from the main bedroom space.

A few things I would look at - whether you can block the second bedroom's wardrobe and instead give them access to the eaves for storage maybe and put the WC in the area behind the stairs accessed from the master. Or if the eaves space is shown there is big enough?

Alternatively, you could make the dressing room a bathroom dressing room combo with a door from the master suite.

I would say at this stage, work on it being a definite possibility with your decision-making and then maybe look at getting someone in to discuss the layout or looking at a layout package with a designer or concept planner once you have the property.

All the best,

Gina

Thank you Gina. This is very helpful. Fingers crossed. : )

Just in case you aren't aware, you would need to get permission from the freeholder for any work like this. As a leaseholder you don't have the right to make these kinds of changes without that. On the other hand if the property freehold is owned jointly by the holders (share of the freehold) then you would need consent from the other leaseholders.

The dressingroom height looks quite low, looking at the relative height of the shoe rack. Presumably the eaves storage is similar. I would get ceiling heights before making a decision.

Consider moving the bathroom upstairs and the room that current contains the bath could be a study or third bedroom
