shower room
that's the usual name, since it is not really a bathroom, having no bath (UK) tub (US)

: Thinking back of selling my flat in London a few years back, we referred to our main bathroom (full suite) as the “bathroom” and the second one as the “shower room”, which had a shower cubicle, toilet and washbasin. We advertised it as such too.

Yes, our house has the same combination - a "real" bathroom upstairs and a "shower room" downstairs

bathroom with shower
a bathroom=the room itself which includes toilet and whb for washing. So with shower rather than a tub (which would be more normal)

so, maybe it all needs to be completely spelled out here
a bathroom with shower, whb (wash hand basin) and WC (toilet)
I'm sure it's possible to find estate agent "SPEAK" for ALL these possibilities but why are we relying on their jargon?

: whilst not "wrong" this may lead a reader to think that the room contains both a bath and a shower

I don't think you necessarily need "room" and having ploughed through all the suggestions, I don't recollect seeing precisely this.

Reference:
I have some estate agent's blurb right in front of me!
EN-SUITE SHOWER ROOM Fully tiled walls and white suite comprising low level WC. Pedestal wash hand basin and shower cubicle. Exposed beams. Double glazed window. Electric shaver point. Central heating radiator. Extractor.
----
Disregard EN SUITE, and any other extraneous material of course! But this is typical
--------------------------------------------------
Note added at 45 mins (2012-02-03 19:55:23 GMT)

Incidentally, the WC would always be mentioned AFTER shower room/bathroom/cloakroom. So it would never be called, e.g. "WC with shower/bath"
