Long-time reader, first-time poster here. I'm looking at buying a do-up-and-sell, my first. Will probably live in it for 3-4 years. The bathroom is very small - 1.7m2, next-door is a separate toilet. Is it advisable to combine the two, to give the impression of a bigger bathroom, even though that means...
