The existing bathroom had only a towel rail as a heating provision and was open to the hallway mostly. This struggled to get the bathroom to a comfortable temperature and also took up a lot of space.
The property owner was undergoing a complete redesign of the room.
This content is from the owner in his words:
So, after a few years of restoring many rooms in my cottage, it was time to look at the 1st floor bathroom. This was a difficult one and required a bit planning and research, due to the size and available space. One of the main issues was the existing towel/radiator which was far too large for
the room and didn’t produce much heat!
