Handy little extra seat in the kitchen https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/134756552

An I the only one who finds that a bit disgusting? Would put me right off my dinner.

You are not alone.  If I were househunting, a loo directly off living space/ kitchen would be right at the top of my 'no way' list.

Easily remedied in this property though - turn the loo into a walk in pantry and build a nice utility area and a cloakroom at the rear of that waste of space garage.

Seems to be quite normal in new builds these days, particularly smaller homes. Whether that means the general public is accepting or just have to buy what is available I do not know.

Modern building regulations make a downstairs WC mandatory, so in smaller houses there might not be much choice about where it will fit.

I doubt it very much and quite what the EA was thinking with that photo is beyond me.

If I lived there it would be of great benefit to any houseguests unfortunate enough to experience my cooking.  

A garage is only a waste of space if one chooses to waste the space it provides.  If it's empty, buy a car!

And why is there a vast if intriguingly modernist telephone kiosk in the bathroom?  

I wonder how big the average car is in the UK. The garage is very long.

Larger than the average garage. Or rather, you could get an average car in there, but not open the door to get out.

The choice is to build attached micro houses in the first place.

The detached garage in my relatively new build is 5.8m x 3m. That is a size that will take most modern cars in terms of length and does allow pretty easy exit from the vehicle as well. With my old Mazda 6 you could get the drivers door fully open if the passenger side was tight up.
I've seen some garages that are only 2.25m wide however which is pretty useless, mostly in older houses but some new builds as well. Anything narrower than 2.5m is really an uninsulated storage room rather than a garage.

Our house, with integral garage, is 30 years old.  We did originally park the car in there, but it got harder and harder with each new model.  Our last Polo was bigger than my first Golf!

Finally had to throw in the towel when we bought our T Cross (Polo chassis, but bigger body).  Garage is now a workshop/man cave.

Anything less than 3m is going to cause a lot of people trouble, and even 3m only works if you only ever need to access one side of the car at once.

A much better option would be a canopy out front to park under. Much easier to make it nice and wide, and can be used for other things if the owners don't have a car. Unfortunately in the UK they are often not allowed.

I know of several 1930s houses in different parts of the country which have garages that are marginally over 2.0 m wide. They were designed to accommodate the 1920s/30s Austin 7 which was less than 1.20m wide

Quick bidet before a cycle, or is it a quick bidet after a cycle?

I'm not familiar with the etiquette.
