Adding a downstairs toilet in a cottage (under stairs)

Anonymous user 03/03/2024 - 3.11 PM

Hello, I am in the process of buying a house which is an old 1900 terraced cottage. There is quite a large space under the stairs which I would like to transform into a downstairs loo with a small basin. The waste pipe is at the back of the house. We currently have a bathroom upstairs with a loo connected directly on this waste pipe. The downstairs is mostly concrete flooring, this was replaced in 2010. Being a terraced house I was wondering if adding a toilet would be an absolute nightmare? I thought maybe an alternative solution would be to basically run the water to the stair space, and use a macerator toilet instead. Do you think this is do-able or would it be an absolute nightmare to do this transformation? Regards
