We're in the process of buying our first house (late 19th-century semi-detached). There a two major things we want to do:
1. Move the stairs to the attic - they come up into the middle of the room, meaning that we lose valuable space. Also, there are some slanting issues in the floor, which our surveyor says will be rectified if we put new stairs with the head at the highest level of the attic floor - the spiral staircase should help with this.
To do this, I think we should make the bathroom smaller - using the space where the shower currently is, to be where the new stairs would be.
2. Move the hot water cylinder - at the moment the cylinder takes up a lot of room in the bathroom. If we move the stairs, this will then leave some space in the hall which I think would make a good airing cupboard. The cylinder is relatively new with factory fitted insulation and in good condition, therefore it might be most cost-efficient to keep and just move.
Any advice would be most welcome!

How we potentially envisage the new plan:
