I agree with Tiffany Weeks, it really depends on what your future plans would be. If you intend on living in that house, then by all means you should make the house work for you; however from a re-sale point of view, a bathroom with a bath tub tends to go up in value. Having said that, there are also a lot of people nowadays that are opting for eliminating the tub, so it is no longer a must. Good luck!

That's a working fireplace isn't it? I agree that the fire surround is probably not in keeping with your tastes and would probably look perfectly at home in a rustic country cottage, but just not for you. There are several options open to you, and if your a bit handy with the DIY, none of them need to cost much, it's just a little hard work. Remove the fire surround and see what dimensions you have with the actual fireplace, it might be that you can also remove the iron plate around it, thus leaving you with a much smaller actual fire. However, be aware that it will affect, the plaster, the skirting and the hearth, as everything is currently built to home the fire surround. You could go............at that point for making good the walls and keep it simple by having a floating shelf only, or another fire surround that's simpler. Loads on Ebay! Just make sure they're suitable for a working fire!
