Ever fancied living in a converted chapel?  Wonder what the heating bills are like?  Fancy your own skeleton?

Has anyone ever been in a stand up bath?

Holy moly! 

I’m only a skinny wee thing but that looks small even for me, but then I love to lay in a bath. 

Thingy will be along in a minute to tell us that’s how the Japanese have been doing it for years and it’s all fine.

To each their own I guess, but this to me is an eyesore.
Way too fussy and the outdoor equivalent of a hoarder's house full of ornaments on every surface. Arches a horror. 

Even the grassy area is overloaded with massive trees where just 2 or 3 would do. And that grassy path on the right just for a lawnmower challenge?

Definitely more Dimmock than Rich brothers.

Despite the obvious nightmare heating situation, this seems incredibly cheap for one of the North's most desirable towns. When I think about what £1m buys near me - in some cases a 3-bed semi - the fittings alone in this place (although a million miles from my taste) must be worth a bomb.

It’s a walk in bath for people with mobility difficulties. You open the door on the side, sit on a seat you can’t see then wait for the bath to fill up.  I can see the point but you also have to wait for it to drain.

That's what I have never liked about those baths, you have to sit there naked and cold whilst it fills and drains.

That reminds me of going to B&Q with my son when he was about three. The baths were standing on end. He ran up to the display and shouted, "Look mummy, stand up baths for grannies."

It never mentions that in the adverts! Obvious when you think about it, but I do wonder if some people commit to one of these without realising this major downside.

In the latter phases of the second shogunate, Tokyo's population went through a period of rapid expansion.  A great number of peasants moved to the city seeking higher paid employment in the burgeoning Artisans' District, where myriad small workshops had sprung up making ceramics and paper ornaments.  The district was fairly small, geographically speaking, leading to a great increase in population density.  Many families lived in single rooms, meaning that cooking and washing amenities needed to be made as compact as possible.  A popular way of increasing floor-space was to turn the bath on its end and to wash standing up.  Water was provided by a cistern mounted near the ceiling, with an outflow pipe to direct it.  The innovative new style of cleaning was called 'Shao-Ah' in the local dialect.
