Those "rainfall" style showerheads provide a pretty vertical flow of water, so probably not a major issue. Though wouldn't be the first time I've seen "recently-refurbished property omits stuff needed for practical purposes."Patr100 said:
Depends how splish/spashy you get. I suppose you could fit a shower or waterproof curtain to the window.GDB2222 said:How does that arrangement work with the shower right next to the window? Won’t the window and curtain get soaking wet?
There doesn't seem to be any curtain on the other side for splashes.1 -

There doesn't seem to be any curtain on the other side for splashes.The lovely new bathroom at the front of the house had a very large floor to ceiling window glazed with ordinary glass, not opaque, leaving nothing to the imagination of passers by. The architect was there to show people round, and said it was an oversight, which I thought was a particularly apt way of phrasing it.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?3 -
Thankfully there's sticky frosted plastic films you can apply to windows to make them obscuredGDB2222 said:

but yes, it's an unfortunate "oversight".1 -
We deliberately put clear glass in our bathroom window because we wanted to enjoy the view. But it is an ordinary height window, the road in front of us is too close to see anything other than your head even if stood right next to the window, so it would only be a tractor driver that might see anything else lower down.GDB2222 said:

You can of course just shut the blind.

We also have clear glass in the bathroom window, but due to its height and the angles you can't see anything - we've tested it thoroughly! The view out is definitely worth it.ProDave said:

I walk past this house from time to time.

It's always stuck out as the rest of the cottages are very well presented. It's certainly going to make a good project for someone.1 -

It could be stunning couldn't it? Definitely bags of potential.
