Would you buy a house with a toilet in an open-plan room?

[lostinspace00]

Hope to find some sensible opinions here before I (possibly) waste loads of money (and so sorry i just posted this on an existing thread by mistake).

My house has a separate dining room and kitchen with a hallway between the two leading to a toilet. I want to knock the walls down to create one large room but keep the toilet as it’s very useful. To cover all bases:
1 no I can’t afford to put the toilet anywhere else it would make the job too expensive

1. I want to keep the toilet (it’s a shower too) rather than get rid of it as it’s useful.

would you buy a house with a toilet in the middle of a big open plan room?

I’ve created some excellent architectural designs to show you what I mean (by excellent I mean a bit shit)

Thank you to anyone who can be bothered to respond

I think some developers take pride in the most stupid placement of their development as well as creation of most ridiculous spaces. Like the 2 bedrooms upstairs when there was no need to make the landing bigger and create awkward angles.... As well as what you mentioned.

The confusion about the regulations is that they have changed. It used to be the case that you could have a toilet off a kitchen area. Now if you have a wash basin + extractor can you can.

Maybe it’ll be a back passage! 🤣

Depends where the central soil pipe is - it may be connected to the back but I think it’s more likely to run down the side.

It’s not clear if the kitchen dining room is a (one storey?) extension in which case the soil pipe to that toilet may be a branch.

In any case a macerator and pump means you don’t need gravity drain pipes or major floor and concrete excavation.

No way. Our kitchen has got a utility room with a door into it and then a downstairs loo off it. That’s fine in my opinion as the kitchen is quite large so you can’t hear anything. If it had been in the middle of the kitchen we wouldn’t have bought the house.
