I've got one.

It came with the house (and a wonderful roll top bath, also in the bedroom).

I found it hilarious at first and only viewed it for a laugh. But frankly, as a divorced woman with bladder issues I wouldn't be without it now.

If it makes it harder to sell then I'll buy a fake screen to separate the room or something, but honestly I'm used to it now, and I'm not moving for a good long while.

Bizarre!

Is that even allowed under building regs? We all know about germs 'flying' out of the toilet when it's flushed without the lid down. Would be totally grim that would in your bedroom.

Weird swingers house if you ask me.

Some naff photoshopping too.

I wouldn't want this layout in a house at all. It would be an instant "NO" from me. I think it could be difficult to sell in the future too because most people really prefer their bodily functions to be private and for smells to be controlled/kept to a minimum.

DH and I do like to watch some of A Place in the Sun and I have sometimes seen ensuites that are open to the bedrooms on there. I just wouldn't buy it.

No. I don’t even like it when there is a loo in a room with a washing machine. It’s exceptionally unhygienic.

We currently live in a rental that used to be a holiday cottage and has sinks in two of the bedrooms. Put plugs in them, you get mould. Take them out, you get extremely loud noises in both rooms whenever the kitchen sink is emptied, and to a lesser extent, when the dishwasher is on.

So kitchen duties have to be timed against when someone is not trying to sleep - even innocently emptying a kitchen sink.

I'm intrigued as to why they don't show the ground floor bedroom (the one with the toilet in the bay window!) in any of the photos or the house tour video.

And of course baffled by all these toilets just directly in bedrooms. The attic toilet, where you can peer over the little folding screen down the stairs, has thick pile carpet right up to the toilet pedestal. The other bedroom loos don't like they'd be great for the flooring either.
