Imagine a rectangle approximately 6m by 3m. The final 1.5m of the 6m "juts out" from the main body of the house. ASCII diagram (use a monospaced font):
REST OF HOUSE UP HERE
0m 4.5m | 3m | 6m +DD----DD----+--+ 0m | | | | | | +---------------+ 3m(DD = approx pos'n of existing doors)
Up until recently this was split into two bedrooms of very very approximately 2.5+m by 3m and 3.5-m by 3m (the wall between was a very odd shape and also contained a triangular chimney breast). The partition wall and chimney breast are in the process of being removed.
This rectangle is going to contain two (smaller) bedrooms with a bathroom between because the existing bathroom (elsewhere) contains no loo and isn't big enough to add one. With two small children, having only one loo - and that downstairs - isn't a good idea. What are people's opinions on the best way to split the rooms? Ideally one of the bedrooms (probably the one to the right of the diagram) will still be capable of housing a double bed, but the other need only take a child's bed for now, and at most a single.
As I see it we have two viable options for the bathroom - we can make it
1800mm internally which would give enough space for a bath against the external wall but will squeeze the bedrooms, or we can make it narrower, allowing larger bedrooms but forcing the bath against one of the partition walls.What would you do?
Hwyl!
