En suite or not?!

Post by **Gayno** » Mon Apr 17, 2017 8:35 pm

So I'm in process of redsigning the main bedroom at home. It has previously had an area sectioned off and converted to an en suite, but it wasn't done properly so I'm having to strip the room back to bare and start again.

I've had mixed opinions from people, some say refit the en suite to aid with resale value, others saying they would prefer the bigger bedroom.

So, if you were buying a house and had to choose between two very similar properties, would you go for the one with the en suite, or with the bigger bedroom.

Note that we have main bathroom and downstairs loo so no en suite won't leave us short of toilets!!

Leave the en suite partition and turn it into a dungeon...

How big is the master at the moment? How many other bedrooms?

En suite, dear boy. No more late night wanderings, probably bumping into things, to spend a penny.

I honestly don't see the point with en suites in regular houses unless you a) hate sharing b) hate your family and will avoid the risk of crossing paths at any cost!

I know my other half has enough trouble coping with me farting on the toilet when she's in bed and I'm two doors away, let alone one!

How much more effort is it to walk a little bit further to the bathroom, and would you really have that much trouble finding your way to and fro at night? You could always get a night light on the landing

I'd definitely rather have the extra space in the bedroom (I'm imagining an average 13"ish square room).

You can always leave the plumbing under the floor boards/ceiling and sell it as "the plumbing already in place for an ensuite".

Depends I guess, if there's a bathroom on the same floor then why bother.

The older you get, the closer you wish the toilet was, especially at night.
