Loosing the downstairs loo

[HiveBee]

I’m honestly not sure if you would describe our house as a family home to be deadly honest with you it’s a 2 bed terraced, it’s lovely, it’s going to have a beautiful upstairs bathroom. If I was going to stay here forever I would lose the downstairs toilet and make that into an additional space in the kitchen.

I think the truth is though it’s just not quite big enough for me and therefore I will sell it in three or four years time are probably be to a couple of first-time buyers, works with maybe 1 small child or BTL.

Hence my dilemma do I keep the downstairs toilet ?

I'm surprised you are getting so many posters saying keep the downstairs toilet. I would get rid of it. I've lived in a few terraced houses over the years and none had a downstairs toilet and I never felt the need for one. A bigger kitchen with views of the back garden would have been lovely though. (And a tradesman might use my toilet about once a year so I'm not sure why that's been brought into it).

I may be very shy but I'd rather use a toilet upstairs when visiting someone's house as I don't want anyone to hear me going 🙈

Clearly all the other posters do feel the need for one. When you have two people in a small house and one or both of them have IBS you definitely need both loos.

No longer against regulations as long as the loo has an extractor fan.
