Open-plan toilet stuns house hunters: 'Genuinely a nightmare'
Prospective buyers are in for a surprise when they drop by this affordable, quaint cottage.
It has an open-plan toilet at the top of the stairs.
The otherwise sweet brick home (listed for a sub-$250,000 price that will floor Aussies) is in Stropshire, in the UK, and has gained a profile for its interesting inclusion – a landing loo.
Will it take off as a trend? Not a chance, based on the responses online.
A Reddit thread dedicated to the property debates what the designer was thinking.
The toot is in the open, with no walls or door for privacy, and the cistern is recessed into the wall.
“I genuinely can’t find the flusher for that toilet either, what in the actual hell is it,” one Reddit follower asked. Another said: “I genuinely have a nightmares like this”.
Described on the UK-based listing as a “mid-terrace town cottage”, eit is on the edge of the lakeland town of Ellesmere, near the border of Wales, and carries a price guide of £124,995 ($AU241,887).
Traditional features abound, although the lavatory on the landing could in no way be classed as one such flourish.
The floorplan takes in a dining room, study or second bedroom and a living room.
The garden has been lovingly kitted-out for a family to include a gazebo and deck, children’s play zone and a shed, which is described on the listing as “far larger than one might anticipate for a property of this nature”.
