Jason Orme, Editor of Homebuilding & Renovating Magazine says:
"If you are extending your home by adding bedrooms, try to balance this by increasing the number of bathrooms. Future buyers will expect at least one bathroom and a shower room in, for example, a four or five bedroom house and without them the value will be limited."
"A basic shower room need measure only 900mm wide by 2.6m if it is to include a WC and basin and can really add value to your house. Well-lit, ventilated and fully tiled it can be a luxury space. The cost of creating a shower room within a bedroom will be £2,500 to £3,000 providing the plumbing is within reasonable proximity."
"It's also important to work out the most efficient and practical way to access an extension and this can be the greatest design challenge. There is no point in sacrificing more than you are gaining such as slicing up a good sized bedroom in order to gain access to an extension that adds only one more bedroom of a similar size."
"It can be tempting to try and squeeze the maximum accommodation out of a property by subdividing existing and new space into as many bedrooms as required. However, there are minimum sizes for rooms to function properly. When considering applications for conversions, most local authorities have recommended minimum room sizes which planning applications must conform to. "
