There's a lot of posts about what individuals prefer, but I think that's kind of missing the point.
Selling a house with no bath will cut off a significant percentage of interested people, for valid or not so valid reasons. So if I was renovating a house I'd definitely try very hard to find space for a bath.

I was seriously considering a shower until I realised that a bath would be needed when we come to sell in the near future as it's a "family" home and you can't wash small children / babies in a shower

I think I’d build it with a wet room and do the layout so you had option for a bath. Even a free standing one.
Not sure if op is going to live in it first or just sell it. I’d speak with an estate agent and see what they say. They’ll know the target buyer etc etc

Bath is great when cold & damp as @8ob says, can have a nice coffee, sandwich, good book, turning the hot tap on with toe is a thing that comes with practice.
We have 1 shower, toilet, basin on suite, 1 downstairs sort of utility shower, toilet & basin, + 1 family bathroom. All showers pumped.
Thought of selling a while ago the agent said for young family bath a must

fine provided its not a concrete floor or u have access under the floorboards for the trap and drain
I am lucky the house I am in has 4 bathrooms- just for 2 of us.
My bathroom has a huge jacuzzi style bath and a seperate shower. I never fill the bath. Would probably cost a fiver in hot water

When I lived at our last house I had a lovely hot bath every night, no matter the weather. Then last year we moved and the new place has no tub, just a wet room with electric shower. I hated it, missed my hot baths, but I've since got used to the shower, and realised what a waste of water and gas it must have been having a full tub of boiling hot water 365 a year.
We don't have mains gas at the new place, just a big lpg tank buried in the garden, so quite sensible not to have a bath really.

After my wife died a large bungalow with two bathrooms and a big garden was the last thing I needed so I put it on the market. Both bathrooms and the kitchen really wanted renewing but I did not see any point in putting all new stuff in to have it taken out as it wasn't to their taste. Proved right decision as new owners removed wall between kitchen and dining room and totally changed the layout at the other end where the bathrooms were. Seen properties sold and new kitchens or bathrooms end up in a skip.
That sums it up I think. Bearable.
A proper walk in shower is so much nicer and safer.
Best bet as people say is to ask the local estate agents.
I don't plan on living there - just want to do the place up nicely.
You can guarantee the housing market will collapse as soon as it is ready

Moved from a house that had separate bath and shower to a place that only has (a very nice) shower. It's OK and we're used to it now, but really miss the relaxation of a hot soak in the evening. And, as has been said before here, for babies and toddlers a bath is really good.
Partner keeps eying up bath tubs and I'm having to fight back against wrecking a perfectly good shower room.
So lack of bath didn't stop us buying the house - that was on location /budget /condition - but if there'd been two otherwise identical places available, a bath (even with shower over) would have swung the decision.

Friends daughter bought her first house a couple of years ago. One of the first things she did was have the shower ripped out and a bath fitted.

True, my toe is thermostatically controlled, even if I am half asleep and missed as a fart it still gets shut off at the right time.
