Why to British people seem to like combined showers and baths like that? They are useless, the shower curtain does little to stop water escaping. Don't really want a bath with you head right next to the crapper either.

Not a case of "liking". It's simply that there isn't room often for  a separate shower in an existing bathroom.
I would have though that was obvious, at least to most British people.
and if you hang the shower curtain inside the bath rather that outside it usually works fine to keep water escaping.

British micro houses for you I guess. I'd rather just have a shower and no bath, than a rubbish combined one.

It's not actually that small!  The whole thing comes in at 700 sq ft, which is a little bit larger than the average terrace.  It would be fairly easy to take the bath out and put a shower cubicle in if desired.  

That's only 65 square metres, that's tiny!

With two stories it's right on the limit for the minimum recommended living space for 3 people.

Plenty of households are comprised of less than 3 people so there is a market for these so called "micro houses". My house is only 65m2 but it's fine for me. I live alone and am childfree. Even if I end up getting a lodger there's still plenty of room. I don't need more space and don't want more space to have to clean or heat. Most of my neighbours along the terrace are either single, couples, or young couples with a baby using it as a starter home. My house is the same size as most of the 2 bed flats in my area and people survive in them. I have the added benefit of having a garden. 

That's great for you, but the average UK household size is 2.4. Unless you are saying that the average terrace house is only designed for two people maximum...

The average number of residents in a two bedroom house is going to be somewhat lower than 2.4.

What a strange looking property!  'Stunning Fitted Kitchen' is pushing it.  Some of the cupboard doors are sagging and misaligned, and there's mastic smeared about in various places.  A teacher might give the place a solid C, but note that it could have been better with more effort.

Its centre in What3Words will prove it's location unique.

A couple in one bedroom, a child - or two - in the second.

You think that's the average? A huge proportion of two bedroom properties are (like mine!) going to be occupied by one person.

The house I am in right now is two floors, each 7m x 6m. There's a chunk out of the ground floor for the garage, so the habitable area is about  75 sqm.

These houses are typically occupied by families, with a couple of children. It's not bags of space for a family, but it's okay.
