Minimum width for entry to bedroom

[gillpsimonb]

We are refurbing a Victorian house and have a bedroom with a chimney breast in it which limits the entry space into the room.... see attached image.

Is there a minimum gap permissible for this ?

The existing stud wall was crooked so looking at possibly replacing it - but concerned about the resultant gap size between the corner of the bathroom and the chimney breast.

Thanks

There is no rule or regulation but you need to get furniture in and a ridiculously narrow gap will put off buyers. What is the gap?

About 64cm - if we straighten the wall
About 69 cm if we keep the gap the same size as before

You could chamfer the new partition, if your bathroom layout allows it.
