Yes. That’s a toilet in the lounge.

Exactly. I hope they were still able to get into their garden. It looks as though it was well loved.

I imagine it was a bedroom/ bathroom area. Though strange it doesn’t have a walk in shower.
It would be for an elderly or immobile person, pretty obvious really. Obviously it can be removed.
I find it odd the loo and sink are so far apart, surely could’ve been closer and built around? What do I know!

I wouldn't have thought that about the toilet and sink, but now you mention it, it makes sense that it is there. Sometimes MN can be educational. The garden looks like it has been so loved and well-tended. Someone has spent many happy hours there. I hope the new owners take care of it too.

I’m sure the person would rather not have been having a piss in the living room.

this thread is horrible.

It’s obvious that it’s there because the previous occupant couldn’t manage stairs. Why would anyone think anything else?
It’ll be easy enough to get rid of and actually if the plumbing is there then someone looking to perhaps convert the house into flats might appreciate it.

@MontgomeryClift would you consider asking mnhq to take the thread down? I am sure the person who lived in the house and needed that adjustment made would be upset at it being made fun of.

Vile thread. I hope neither you nor your relatives ever need this kind of support with daily living OP. It's probably been a much loved family home and you're posting it to make fun of someone. Horrible.

I doubt the occupant had it put in so they could have "a piss whilst eating their dinner". Your ableism is excruciating.

I’m not sure that’s been done to regs to start with.

I’ve already asked.

Maybe delete the post, OP.

When I was in this situation and the house was having to be sold to fund a care home there were simply not enough liquid assets to start pissing about trying to alter the house back to how it was before the adaptations, that's LITERALLY why the house was having to be sold.

I hope you feel good about yourself laughing away about somebody's elderly and disabled relative who is now presumably either dead or in a care home.

Actually looks as though it may have been sectioned off at the archway - the bed may have been in with the sanitary ware and the other side of the archway used as a sitting/ living area? Clearly well thought out and beautifully done; nice flooring and walls.
OP obviously hasn’t had to deal with the elderly and infirm in her/his life yet. That’s been a lovely adaptation for someone to enable them to stay at home.

I thought there has to be a door between a living area and toilet.

I'm more horrified by "lounge"

Don’t be so ridiculously sanctimonious.

Gold star in the post to you.

I agree. You can see it's been set up as a bedroom and a bathroom. Have a heart people.

A friend has this set up, he needs the use of a winch so he needs a lot of room around his toilet. It was also very handed when I visited when our son was toilet training.

i laughed that the OP was being scolded which is de rigueur on here. You decided that I was laughing at the elderly being unable to use the stairs.

Unless there’s an opportunity to feel superior to someone, the thread is deathly quiet.

Someone lived thete with a severe disability for so long it was worth plumbing a toilet in to a room which also has plenty room for hoists and other medical equipment.

I will need a downstairs loo at some point. I expect to be offered that.

my stairs won’t take a lift.
but thanks for the gold star.

Agree this seems ok for a single inhabitant who can no longer manage the stairs - nowhere else to put it!

Much nicer than a commode.

I was referring to the new inhabitants, not the old.

I hope this gets deleted
