The house is blessed with one of those ‘nice’ feelings about it; the alterations wouldn’t affect it. It overlooks common ground and is very ‘homely’ in appearance and composition (even though it is gopping in how dated it is)
What was the bathroom, and was planning to stay the bathroom, has been pointed out today (by a particularly imaginative electrician!) would be better off turning into a bedroom and where the toilet is (across the landing, as was going to be the ensuite), could be turned into the bathroom by losing a few feet from the bedroom (some of which was going to be reqiured to turn into an ensuite anyhow).
It also brings cost savings as bathroom where is, needed lead removing and toilet plumbing in, which required running the waste stack around back of house, removing cast iron drainage etc.
If the bathroom was situated where crapper is now, it would be a doddle and much cheaper to install. The cost of alterations (knocking down and building new stud wall myself) would be about £300, including electrics, but before tiling.
The batchelor in me says en-suite, the economist in me says the 3 bed. I guess I’m just concerned that a small bathroom might put off buyers that are looking for a 3 bed.
