If your house will be marketed to a couple who might have a baby at some point, then a bath is essential.
Trying to wash toddlers or babies in a shower cubical is a nightmare, and you would need a baby bath - which would need storing somewhere in this small house...
Could always wash the kids in the kitchen sink or the dishwasher:j0 -
Yes. I wouldn't go on a date without first taking a bath though.Mornië utulië0

just imagining someone washing their baby in the kitchen sink, I suppose it is big enough, but not sure it would appreciate Fairy liquid over baby shampoo
This is what used to be done all the time. I remember being washed in the sink at my gran's house in the 1970s and it was not an unusual thing.0 -
Another vote for buying a house with no bath. We had a shower over a bath when we moved in and we replaced this with a large walk in shower instead.0

bought a house this year where the bath had been taken out... the main things I miss are being able to bath the dog without having to get in with him, and having a nice long soak with a glass of wine.
Wait.... what?? You used to take long soaks in the bath together with your dog while enjoying a glass of wine???0 -
We have a bathroom with a bath which hasn't been used in the thirteen years we've lived here. All we've done is cleaned the dust out of it.
All three of us use the shower in the ensuite.I am a mortgage broker. You should note that this site doesn't check my status as a Mortgage Adviser, so you need to take my word for it.

But this is small 2 bed house, aimed at a no kids familyNaughtiusMaximus wrote: »Personally we prefer a nice large shower cubicle to a bath with shower over but we're in the minority. For most people with young kids it would would probably be a deal breaker to not have a bath.0 -
Anyway baths are not entirely nice are they, sitting in a load of filthy water covered in all your bodily excretions, you'd need a shower afterwards! How do you wash and rinse your hair?
Tell you what abandon the bath and have shower instead.0 -
A lot depends on if it's a house or a flat - new build flats often only have a shower but it would be unusual in a new build house0
