5 bedroom house - how many bathrooms?

[Muncher]

The plumbing actually works very well due to where the existing runs and drains were. We are only moving the furthest foul drain point by approx 1m.

It won't be used very often but you would want to be able to have family over for xmas dinner. It can also be used as a kids room, although we don't have any yet.

What would you do with the space otherwise? It's going to be small in comparison to the kitchen and the lounge which will both be pretty large as it is.

Looking at the drawings you seem to have given some consideration to having it in the living room (top right?) I personally would have something more open plan, as you have mentioned it won't be used that often so it's quite a big room to have just mothballed for 1 or 2 occasions a year

Have you no need for a man room? (Office/Media Room/Pool Room?)

I am sure one of the other contributors who has more experience may have better suggestions

I have just seen it mentioned on home threads before that Dining Rooms end up being a bit of a waste

We use our dining room daily, but the current trend in family houses is kitchen/dining or kitchen/breakfast and separate dining room.

But I am thinking of knocking it through to the kitchen (except that on the rare occasion we have a dinner party the guests would be able to see how messy the kitchen gets and they will hear the swearing)

We can do anything with it really, I suppose it only becomes a dining room once you stick a table and chairs in it.

I'm having a projector in the lounge and I'll use one of the upstairs bedrooms as an office.

We have just bought a 5 bed modernist house, built in 1982... We got one en-suite, one family bathrom and one more guest bathroom between the two guest bedrooms on the ground floor. Beats me why would I want another en-suite. This way we can watch both sets of in-law fight it out in the morning

My girlfriend has this http://www.spainpool.com/snooker_dining_mahogany.p... as her kitchen table. Stick it in the dining room and kill two birds with one stone.

I think it was from here, http://www.homeleisuredirect.com/pool_tables/pool_... £750 They do it in a number of different finishes and cloths. A good solid table, It's too heavy to move at all though, unless you have a team of goatee boasting powerfully built men around.

The price is irrelevant. That is fricking cool. Every house should have one.
