Victorian House Dwellers - what have have you done with your old outdoor loo/Coal House

[emsa1]

Hello.. as above?

Has anyone knocked through? Does it look ok or does it make your kitchen look like a massive tunnel? Our kitchen is super dark and i 'd love to see the garden but the old scullery and outdoor loo stand in the way!

Thanks :)

Not current house but one we owned before was a separate building towards the back of the garden

Kept it as a toilet but redecorated - was brilliant for bbqs and when kids friends came round to play , especially in the paddling pool. No mess in the house bathroom!

We knocked ours down. It was a single-skinned wall so was freezing and damp; also there was asbestos in the roof. We built a proper extension. Not a Victorian house though, 1920's.

We’ve made the ‘outside loo’ into a storage cupboard. DH rigged up a Perspex roof between the utility room and the outside loo and this is now the laundry room

Our outside loo now houses our boiler.

Its great having a space to put it that isn't in the kitchen.
