Winkworth report a surge in interest for en suite bathrooms

Feb. 17, 2015 - PRLog -- A survey in December by bathroom company Ideal Standard revealed that one in five British parents said their children had asked for their own private bathroom for Christmas, with the request being most popular among teenagers aged between 13 to 18. While it's not the sort of gift that could be wrapped up and placed under the tree, families with home moving intentions in 2015 will have taken note of their offspring's request.

Luckily, there are many properties for sale in south west London where at least one of the bedrooms has an en-suite bathroom. An extra bathroom is a welcome facility among busy families, who may find themselves queuing for the shower of a morning - especially if they have image conscious teenagers!

An en-suite to the master bedroom is a great way of easing ablution issues, allowing the family bathroom to be just that - a space for the younger residents to wash. Many of the houses for sale in south west London have gained an en-suite bathroom through the clever re-proportioning of existing space. It's quite common for large bedrooms to be divided by a new wall to create an en-suite, or to convert a large cupboard that may sit next door to a bedroom.

Estate agents in south west London also take on many houses where the loft or attic has been converted into a bedroom, together with an en-suite bathroom. This often solves a number of family living issues as a conversion provides extra sleeping space, as well as a bathroom.

Increasingly, extra bathrooms are being created at ground floor level, with utility rooms and offices being turned into shower or wet rooms. This is an especially popular choice if more than two generations live in the same property, or if a ground floor reception room or garage has been converted into a bedroom.

Although the south west London property market is well stocked with properties for sale with extra bathrooms and en-suites, there are a number of exciting homes available with the potential to add extra custom-specified facilities.
