What it is
A bathroom reached from a bedroom. Many are carved from a corner of the bedroom or a box room, so they're often very compact.
Good for
Privacy
No queue for the bathroom.
Value
An extra bathroom adds appeal to a home.
What to weigh up
Steam
Steam can drift into the bedroom, so good extraction matters.
Noise
Quieter fans and soft-close fittings help at night.
Placement
An en-suite can go almost anywhere; where a standard drain is hard to reach, a macerator is an option.
Getting it right
Lighting
A gentle night light for late-night trips.
A door that suits
A sliding or pocket door saves space in both rooms.
