This is excellent advice. I don’t think the en suite is an afterthought m but the ventilation definitely is. There is no window/natural light but it is at the gable end of the house.
Hard to tell if the mould starts on the walls and creeps up, because by the time I notice it, it’s on the walls and the ceiling. There is an extractor but it’s obviously not up to the job.
Given how quickly you say mould forms it sounds like something is fundamentally wrong with the bathroom install. Out of curiosity does the mould appear low down then creep up the walls, or does it start high up and come down? Is there a window in there or is it a typical afterthought pit of despair type en-suite with no natural light?
Whatever you choose to do you are looking at a medium sized job:
Keep as bathroom
Convert to utility
Either way you are looking at spending a decent chunk of change, without knowing the specifics of your property I'd say keeping the en-suite would be the cheaper option.
It does sound like you've made your mind up, but playing devils advocate moar en-suite bathrooms = moar value in the head of most estate agents.
