L-shaped bathroom

We went to see a house yesterday - small 3 bed 1930s house, two double rooms and a box room, as usual. But what worries me is that although the bathroom was approx 6 foot square, there was a triangular space taken up by the stairwell - so in plan the floor area was L-shaped, with the other quarter being unusable. The separate toilet was on the other side of the landing.
How much would that put you off the house? I know that a friend has a similar house, and she moved a wall to steal a bit out of the second bedroom to put the bath in there, but this house has been renovated and I don't think they would reduce the price to take into account the building work required. Everything else about the house was good.

I recently viewed a property with the same issue. The sellers had built a cupboard over the Stairs and inset the sink into it, this made use of the space & provided storage below the sink, and meant you could use the rest of the space for a bath/Shower & toilet. I cant imagine the expense was to much to do that alone, however once you had done that you would probably want to re-do the bathroom to make use of the additional room!

Sounds like a good idea - but in this house there wouldn't be enough room for a toilet and bath even if you did that. Maybe you could squeeze in a small shower and toilet.0
