I would need a fair amount of mortar if I went this route but
presumably it would be far cheeper that building a stud frame
& then insulate/plasterboard/plaster?

But building a stud partition is very quick and almost free by most DIY
standards. You'll need about 10 3m lengths of 75x50 and 6 sheets of
plasterboard. You'll also need some nails. That lot will be about 50 quid.
The expensive bit is doing the door, frame and furniture, which you'll
have
to do with the brick wall anyway. I suppose you'll need some way of
getting
the plasterboard home, though. My minibus with roof rails means I never
need
to think about such things.

Plasterboarding is much simpler than the wet plastering you're intending
to
do on the brick wall. There's not normally a need to insulate an internal
wall,

With a bathroom and toilet there is. Fermacell drylining means no wet
skills whatsoever. Just using filler for the screws and boards joints.
