Would upgrading the extractor fan be an option? If it's not on an overrun timer, that should help. Or beef it up to a higher volume one. I recently swapped out mine in our similar sized shower room to a much more powerful one and the difference is amazing. No steam no condensation whatsoever.

Thats a large window for the size of room. If the glass isn't Low-U, maybe consider replacing it with a new double glazed unit. That will keep some more heat in.
Being patterned glass it should be easy to tell:-
Patterned pane inside is standard glass.
Patterned pane outermost will (more than likely)have a Low-U coating on the inner clear pane.Inline mixed flow extractors probably move 3 times the air volume of the one you have in the window. If theres access above the ceiling to install the ducting and fan, vented outside then that could make a big difference. Especially if you were replacing the glass.

I'd like to provide additional heating in my bathroom. I have a towel rail connected to the gas combi boiler however the room gets cold at the window end, which is far from the towel rail.
Mould is growing on the wall adjacent to the window.
My thinking is that a small horizontal electric radiator, controlled by a thermostat and timer, could keep the room temperature higher and this would help the extractor fan do its job better (warm air holding more moisture, and the walls being warmer thus discouraging condensation).
Does such a product exist that could fit in the available space (approx 700 wide, 300 high)? If so, what is it called? Should I be looking for an oil filled radiator, a small horizontal towel rail, something else...?
I'm assuming it will be installed by a sparky and will be on its own fused spur.
