Should have mentioned - stairs go up just outside current bathroom door, so can move opening/doorway along that wall.

Are there any windows?

And where will your soil pipe go? Straight down? (Where is the current one?)

No windows at present, one could be added on far wall one measuring 3203), house is a bungalow so we had considered adding a velux in playroom instead - to give more wall space for cupboards.
Soil pipe goes straight down and heads out direction of far wall, shouldn't be too many problems moving things around within room and reconnecting this.

If this is your family bathroom, downsizing it to what you've posted, would be a bad idea. Besides, a bath and a separate shower wouldn't fit in. So here's a suggestion:

About 200cm wide bathroom. Large shower (120x100 or so). Loo with a bit of wall next to it. Two bowl sinks (round or square), plenty of storage space underneath.

No fancy playroom for the kids, but a really large 'closet' with bifold doors, kept open while the kids are playing and hiding their toys when closed.

Thanks for your reply. Food for thought...thank you 😉 It is the main family bathroom, but we have 3 other ensuites so not all needing to use bathroom. Still keen to fit playroom in somewhere...afraid i might spend my whole time tripping over toys if not, as closet would be open onto kitchen/living room, which isn't huge!

Id like to go back a stage to work out what your requirements are. With three en suits, is it necessary to have a big bath/shower room here? Maybe just a wc and a bigger play room is more important. Good luck.

Ok, now you're talking! ;) How many bedrooms will this bathroom serve then? And I guess it will be the 'daytime loo'? Is there a bath in the ensuites?

Shower room:

This bathroom serves one bedroom occupied by 4 yr old and a spare room...rarely used. No other ensuites have a bath. we could potentially add one to master ensuite - but not sure i want kids traipsing in and out of our room to use bath. 😅😉 Anyone with kids got any comments about having only bath in an ensuite? Thanks Rinq - makes much more sense to make this a shower room tho, yes will be daytime loo too.

I like your plan but ditch the hallway as you have access to playroom from the kitchen/living room and a circular you’re around the house will just be used as a race track! Then you still get a nice size bathroom.

Apologies - circular route

Can you upload a floorpan of the entire floor?

My nearly 5yr old prefers to take showers with his dad. We have a loo downstairs and a family bathroom upstairs, with bath and shower, but the bath is used occasionally (wouldn't want to miss it though, not for the kid, but for me).

But if you place a 160cm bath in my shower room design, there'd still be 220cm width for the playroom.

My nearly 5yr old loves his bubble baths!

Some questions for you to think about to help:

- what are your long term plans with your home? Is resale soon a consideration?

- what is the rest of the layout? You mention the corridor but it's difficult to see what you mean without the whole floor plan

- how many kids / rough ages and what kind of play do they enjoy? For example if they're tiny artists, or love sensory play you might make the bathroom into a playroom where they can mess about with water and paint and it's easy to clean up.

Thanks for all the ideas/advice and comments.
Floorplan of house, plus 1 bedroom upatairs. We feel the lounge and dining room (currently playroom for us) are rather cut off so plannng some internal alteration. study is currently dining room for us. Plan A would be to combine lounge playroom and dining room into a lounge/dining/games room (open plan) and remove wall to make it open onto hall. And have door we can shut off the two bedroom down by lounge as they are spare rooms. It is with this plan we are trying to achieve fitting bathoom and playroom into current bathroom space. But with so much space it seems crazy to be squashing it in, so would be v glad of any comments/ideas anyone may have.

Plan B was to swap lounge with Master Bedroom, dining room would become bedroom 2 and knock current bathroom and bedroom two together and thro to kitchen to make open plan kitchen diner and then study on plan would become playroom and bathroom. but this is a lot more work and expense and may not achieve what we want exactly - no games room and still not much space for main bathroom.

if this makes anu sense at all!! 😉😒
Thanks in advance.

Quite a large house, but I agree the layout could be better.

How is the plot layout? Nicest views? Garden? Main entrance?

Thanks. 😁
Main entrace thro porch, off driveway.
Garden is across back - all room currently have patio doors out to garden. Lovely views out that direction too - hence a lot of big doors off those rooms. Probably easiest if we don't have to move these doors around as they have just been installed...had to get on and do them as old ones we shot!

Current ensuites are all in good condition. So makes sense for them to stay if possible, apart from Master one needs some TLC. 😉 But open to any plans/ suggestions.

And in what state is your kitchen? Could it be moved?

No - kitchen can't be moved. 😉 Only 3 yrs old and good kitchen. 👍
We have recently moved into property. So trying to work out best layout for us. Family of 4 - two young children. We do regular entertaining, so want to create space for socialising.

Would something like this work? You could make a large U shaped living area which would accomdate your social space. Turn the whole existing bathroom into a playroom and 2nd seating comfy seating area. And then steal some space from the current study/dining room for a small bathroom and shower room. You could put double doors into the hall from the large u shaped area which would have a good flow from the kitchen to your social entertaining space. Just another idea

or even this to save wasted space in the hall?

Or use a bit of the hall and steal a bit from the lounge to make a bathroom. then those 2 bedrooms could still stay a really good size. And also this way you could take the plumbing from the little ensuite i have removed. This plumbing could also be used to serve a bar area if u wanted that in your social space. Just a few more ideas to throw in there.

It took a while, but here's my idea: Kitchen-dining, kids bathroom near their bedrooms, separate wc. Lounge closer to kitchen. Moved entry door and slimmed down hallway to create extra spare room (study). Family/games/play room near kids beds, perhaps add a lounge doorway?

Moving all the bedrooms to the left might be great too, but that would mean all new bathrooms..

Thanks both for plans and comments...definitely given us some great ideas and food for thought. 😊
