Need to confirm the layout for the plumber / builder. Here’s a vid of the existing space:

Vid didn’t work so here’s a pic

I think I might explore changing the upstairs layout a little in order to give better wall space for wardrobes to the main bedroom

Thanks Johnathan. I don’t mind changing the wooden stud walls on the bathroom side. But wouldn’t want to rip down the big bricked walls where I can help it.

It’s also why I’m unsure of the en-suite option, even though that would be the smoothest way to separate the shower room from the bathroom.

However, I do like the fact that replacing the brick wall between bedrooms will allow for more storage space which is lacking in the house.

It will take your builder no time to pull down a brick wall. If it’s the one between the bedroom and the landing I think your builder will assure you it’s no bigger deal than taking out a wall made from wood studs. Just because it’s built of brick doesn’t mean it’s holding anything up.

Building stud wall is a builders bread and butter and since your old brick wall would have likely needed skimming the cost won’t be much different so don’t be afraid to go further because you only want this level of dust and disruption once.

Fair. That side of the wall is thinner than the other as the chimney breast was removed. I’m also unsure about making the middle room that much smaller

Progress pic of the shower room. Used wall panels for the shower area, laminate floor, heated towel rail and sink/toilet combi. I’ll post the bathroom next
