I've been thinking about how to make the bathroom in my new attic flat bigger. All the rooms as you can see are large and I feel that the bathroom is the only letdown in the flat.... it's so small!
I've removed the bath as I was planning fitting a deeper one and also I damaged some plasterboard when removing tiles so it had to come out to replace the board, this got me thinking and doing a bit of investigating behind existing walls in the bathroom.
My proposal:
What's not shown on the plan is that the existing bathroom and ensuite also have velux windows.
This would give me a huge bathroom, still keeping it en-suite with with access from the main hall too, I'd also not lose the dressing area either. I'd have much more space for a large free standing bath and was thinking about the possibility of a wet area shower somewhere too provided the water piping can be fed into the loft space, across and down inside a wall as the floors are concrete.
My girfriend think's im mad.... am I the only one that could see this being a great project that will surely add value to an already lovely flat that's just lacking a decent bathroom?

My proposal:
- Remove partition wall in red
Remove false walls in green (en-suite later, will explain), behind these green walls is a big space then another wall that's flush with the back wall in the dressing area, I thought it might be for pipework but it's not! the pipework all goes in further back than that, wasted space!!
Use en-suite as is while all other work is undertaken
Eventually move en-suite door to the dotted blue space from my main bedroom and board up that space after removing everything from en-suite and making new walkthrough to bedroom where shower is currently.
