    Personally I wouldn't unless you could get a loo upstairs.

    However, many areas have houses like this and people who live there get used to it.

    I would much prefer an upstairs bathroom, but if a house with a downstairs bathroom was nice enough in other respects and at a good price I wouldn't discount it. There are still a lot of terraced houses around with that layout and they don't seem to have a problem selling.

    Never. Sorry to be so blunt!

    Also they were careful to not include a floor plan which would have put me off straight away.

    Upstairs or downstairs, it's better than having it at the bottom of the garden ;)

    You don't really need a foorplan with photographs and such a common layout.

    No floorplan. What is above the kitchen and bathroom? Could the rear bedroom have a bathroom off it which would be above the kitchen?

    Lived in one for nearly forty years, no problem as you spend more time downstairs than up.

    Just sold it, buyers didn't mind either.

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton

    Bought one 2 years ago. 3 bed Victorian end terrace.

    Hasn't bothered us yet and it didn't bother us when we bought it.
