The bathroom in this 17th-century farmhouse was in need of updating. The owners wanted to install a shower and prevent the room from feeling divided and lacking in focus.

3/8 Basin
The modern wall-hung unit breaks up the long space. The partition wall provides a place for the large mirror and simple tiled splashback.
Find splashback tiles like these at Kirkstone. The mirror is from Ripples.
4/8 Bath
The freestanding roll-top bath adds a touch of country character to the new bathroom. It also stops the overall look feeling too modern.

6/8 Window seat
The window seat hides pipework but also provides a perfect view of the garden below.
7/8 Bathroom shower cubicle
The owners made better use of the space by creating a false wall to separate the walk-in shower. The toilet has been neatly hidden behind the newly-created vanity area.
The shower screen, fittings, toilet, vanity unit and teak worktop are all from Ripples. The wet area mosaic floor tiles are from Lakeland Stone.
8/8 Bathroom sink
The contemporary basin sits above the modern vanity unit.
