We have a two bed Victorian terrace which has a large upstairs bathroom. We need to make this a three bed for our growing young family. We plan to move the main bathroom downstairs into the space there which is currently an extension room off the back of the kitchen. We think we should try to retain an upstairs toilet as has been advised helps protect the desirability of the house incase we sell in the future. Can you advise, is keeping an upstairs toilet really worth it?

 

If we do, would you advise adding it into a cupboard area in the smallest bedroom with access off the landing OR add it into a space taken from the master bedroom? I’ve added floorplans for options. We are end of terrace so can have soil pipe around the building joining up to the old soil pipe. 
 

Many thanks

Very similar to my first house, in our case we were planning to go into the loft with a rear dorma, which might be trickier for you with the orientation of the stairs. In the end we decided it wasn't worth it and ended up moving.

 

I'd probably want to retain the full bathroom on the first floor, so would add the third bedroom on the ground floor, but this may not be practical if we are talking a young family.
