Second Bathroom Location
Hi,
I am purchasing a house, it has one upstairs bathroom at the rear with the soil stack connecting to the foul drain at the rear. The drain runs parallel through the garden to the neighbors. I would like to add a second bathroom, preferably an en-suite to either of the two main bedrooms. The front study would be logical but i dont know if its possible with the soil stack at the back. There is a downstairs WC that uses a macerator and electric hot water.
Can anyone advise on the most logical option to have a second bathroom without losing a bedroom but also if its an ensuite not losing space in the room?
I have provided a floor plan and pictures, the study has been added as a partition to the original designed landing. Seems like an awkward space to utilise.
Thanks in advance

Three different bathroom layouts
Comments (6)Also, do you really need a bath in it? You could stick in a 1500mm shower along the right hand wall but back towards the door then a toilet and sink opposite each other under the window. Loads of natural light at the sink (could even be a double sink) and plenty of room to move around without it feeling too cramped....See MoreTiling for tiny bathroom
Comments (30)Hi! What was your final decision? I am also working on my tiny WC and came to the following conclusions (after 2 months spent in tile shops, looking through houzz and pinterest photos). The tiles in small spaces: 1. Should reflect. The space should not be matt and absorb the light. The glazed tile reflects the objects like a mirror and creates depth. 2. Should not be oversized. When you like the big tiles on the photo you posted - just adore them at the picture. they will not go to a tine space. Compare the size of the bathroom and the size of the tile. Try to imagine the pattern. 3. Don't be mislead by professional designs and photos (like the ones you posted and you like). Most of them are the bathrooms which are really huge in size. So the tiles that are on the picture will not go for your project. You want a small SPA oasis? Forget about concrete and metal look and all the things like that. I took a sample of concrete tile in my bath... really you feel uncomfortable, when you step on the concrete barefoot, Though I have floor heating , I wouldn't go barefoot. Its concrete!:))) Concrete is good for a big loft or industrial design, I think. 5. For a SPA - look I would opt either for the mosaic (which is classical for SPA, but be careful with that. May be monochromatic or achromatic) or wood optic tiles combined with warm white tones. 6. Much color in small bathrooms is not a good option. It is better to add it with accessories. Moreover you can change the look just by replacing your turqoise towels by grey ones. You can add dynamics only by choosing not a typical size of the white tile and making an interesting pattern. For example, for my tiny WC i have 25x75 cm tiles and will put them in a brick wall style. What I have chosen for my tiny WC is a wood optic (very light) tile for the floor and white tiles for the walls. They will cover the wall by 120 cm. The rest of the wall will be covered with wallpaper (navy blue or dark gray). Or may be just painted.

I have also tweaked the two smallest bedrooms so they are balanced in square footage.
To my mind this layout is also successful because I have made the principal bedroom bigger. In my opinion whoever pays the mortgage should have the best bedroom and it’s odd to have a guest bedroom that is similar in size and has the same storage as the principal bedroom. So I say make the main bedroom bigger at the expense of the front bedroom.
