Moving the toilet

One of the things that's been bugging us about the Montague is the size of the toilet.
It's just a bit cramped with the return air taking up quite a bit of space.
We started playing around on Photoshop and brainstormed a few possible solutions:

1. Original floorplan
2. Move toilet into cupboard space
Shift bathroom door to increase size of the room
Increase size of Bedroom 3, shifting the toilet wall to match standard cupboard/return air size

3. Move toilet, shower and return air into bathroom
Increase size of Bedroom 3, shifting the toilet wall to create double-size cupboard

4. Move toilet into cupboard space
Shift bathroom door to increase size of the room
Flip the way the cupboard door opens to allow walk-in cupboard and maximise storage space.

My personal preference is #4 - I think this extra-large cupboard space will provide somewhere to hide the vacuum and ironing board. Less structural changes required too, we'd simply fitout the toilet with shelving.

Have posted our dilemma on the Homeone forum, hoping others have dealt with asking PD to move walls, etc. Curious to hear what people think, and whether this is possible (at a reasonable price!)
