AIBU to think it's weird to have a toilet in your bedroom?

[FreyaFromTheFens]

My neighbours have put their house on the market recently so I had a nosey online and saw that they have a toilet in the bedroom . A bath, sink and loo but no screening or bifold doors for privacy.
Even if there wasn't anyone in the room while you used it it's bloody odd isn't it?
I don't get it. Have seen it quite often on escape to the country/grand designs etc...
If you have one why?

I have an en suite but we don’t use it for poos! For exactly the reasons mentioned. I can imagine a nice roll top bath in a bedroom would be nice, I’ve had that in hotels before and it feels luxurious, but not the whole shebang.

@Suzi888

I don’t like en-suites either. Handy yes, hygienic? Not so sure....

Why would an en suite be less hygieneic than a bathroom.

I really don't understand the hysteria on threads like these about en suites. Unhygieneic bathrooms don't just happen. People cause them. So get cleaning.

Oh god we have this...it’s an en suite with no door. So weird. We don’t use that loo and when we redo the bathroom we’re taking the toilet out!
The space is too small for any normal or bifold door...would be really restrictive. We use it for shower and teeth brushing though.

Be grateful they're selling OP.

I wondered about the trophies. Does the house belong to someone famous?

Is this a Through the Keyhole thread really?

Weird fetish?!

Got to be - especially now someone's pointed out the skeletons

Maybe they're the remains of previous users who didn't put on a good enough performance??

This reminds me of a dream I had where, at work, the toilet was placed in the corner of one of the rooms we work in. Boss was on the toilet and just chatted away to me as if all was normal 😂

Or they were constipated @Puzzledandpissedoff.

This reminds me of a thread / rant / article I read somewhere a few years ago about how many hotel rooms now have showers, toilets, etc that are either In the same room or separated by a glass panel or something.

I’ve made a point of never booking anything like it.

Never thought people would want to take what is clearly a cost-saving step and introduce it into their homes as a design feature.

My eyes skipped over the bit where you said it was a dream, and it was only on a horrified re-read that I noticed...

I just remembered - maybe I've been suppressing it - that I once stayed in a French hotel with a room like this; going by the state of the rest of the place the host was probably just too mean to get plasterboard

However I was too young and stupid to care back then ...

@Wingedharpy and @Puzzledandpissedoff

Only advantage would be if you had to isolate. I assumed it would be by a window with a gorgeous view but its just....there. Odd too that looks so new but they are moving already

No wonder the trophies are so big then

That's extremely odd! And gross!

It's not something I would do myself. I felt I was probably at the limit of things when I connected the garden hose to my iron bedstead in order to provide colonic irrigation 'on tap' so to speak.

OP I see your neighbour's house and raise you this one - toilet facing the bed and right by all the windows!

I do not understand the fixation with ensuites, still less open plan living. I bought my house a few months ago and have put one extra door in downstairs, currently planning another. One of the selling points for me was one bathroom only. I saw a new build with two bedrooms, an en suite, a bathroom AND a downstairs loo. What a waste of space.

@FangsForTheMemory did you grow up with siblings or ever live in a house share at university? In those situations multiple bathrooms inc en suites are a god send when everyone’s getting ready at the same time.

Likewise if your own household gets larger eg everyone getting ready for school/uni/work at the same time

... raise you this one - toilet facing the bed and right by all the windows!

You really have to wonder what's going on in these people's heads ... what's wrong with putting some walls round it for god's sake??

And why isn't there a hand basin in there too?

@IrmaFayLear

What I would really like is an outside loo - a privy. Indoors ones as well, of course, but I would like to banish some members of the household with their favourite publication to somewhere more open to the elements...

They are also very handy when you are gardening and need a wee.

No tiresome removal of muddy boots or need to trudge through the house to get to the lav and, if they have a basin in, very handy for washing the worst of the earth off your hands before you go indoors.

I dislike en suites too. If I happened to have one, I wouldn't use the toilet, I would use the shower though. I just wouldn't like to sleep where I've s**t lol!

Ewwww. Just that.
