It's a hip bath. Often fitted to narrowboats or other small spaces. Really just being used as a shower tray here.
Blurb says 'Recently refitted three piece bathroom including Omnitub Duo deep
soaking Japanese bath with 8 jet spa and over bath integrated shower.'
Yes, if it is a Japanese bath you would expect it to be much deeper than a "hip" bath, up to your shoulder when sat or squatting down. It helps that the Japanese are not a tall race on average but then neither am I

Actually makes sense if you only have the space for a shower or still need to bathe the kids , though older adults getting in or out could be tricky for those with impaired mobility.

I've been thinking about this...as an older adult with a degree of impaired mobility this may be a good thing. I could sit on the edge and swing into it, perhaps there's a ledge for sitting on so no having to be recumbent, and then easier to get out of. Getting up from lying in the bath is something I stopped being able to do years ago.
In my imagination it would work but not in a position to confirm it!
How does that arrangement work with the shower right next to the window? Won’t the window and curtain get soaking wet?
Depends how splish/spashy you get. I suppose you could fit a shower or waterproof curtain to the window. There doesn't seem to be any curtain on the other side for splashes.
