ᐅ Heating two bathrooms of 3.5 m² each – General heating question

Hello,
we are currently finalizing the purchase of a house and are still completely undecided about the heating system. The old oil heating, which is 50 years old, needs to be removed along with all the pipes and radiators.
So far, we have been considering a heat pump combined with a wood stove with a water jacket.
For that, we would need or want to retrofit underfloor heating on about 65m2 (700 sq ft) on the ground floor.
The total cost for this would be around 80,000€.
Now there is the idea of using split air conditioning units for heating, and in the large room on the ground floor also a conventional wood stove for atmosphere and cold days.
This would save us a significant amount of money on installing the entire heating system, but we face one problem.
How should we then heat the two small bathrooms? They are each 3.5m2 (38 sq ft) and should be the warmest rooms in the house at 22°C (72°F).
Do you have any ideas on how to implement something sensible here?
Many thanks and best regards

The total cost would be around €80,000. What would the heat pump alone cost with new radiators? That is a more affordable alternative, but you need to run the numbers.
And if the house is at least 50 years old, you should consider much more than just the heating system. It won’t help to install an efficient heat pump or air conditioning if the heating demand remains high and energy costs stay elevated.
P.S. Which subsidies or grants have you factored in?

Electric heaters are only used when the bathroom is in use.
Take a look at infrared heaters. They are suitable for this purpose. There are even mirrors that provide heating. Ultimately, these can only be recommended as supplements, because moisture still remains in bathrooms that are otherwise unheated and can cause problems.
