There used to be a two door rule between a toilet and a kitchen. That has been 'relaxed' now so long as there is a basin for washing hands. I don't think the rules should have been changed.bucksbloke said:

Toilet straight off the kitchen/dining room/lounge is a massive no for me as well.Frogletina said:

The rules must have changed some time ago. Our layout is kitchen with seperate utility room. The utility room has the back door at one end and the cloakroom at the other end - perfect for when you are 'caught short' while gardening!
When we had the kitchen and utility completely redone about 12 years ago, the designer said that knocking down the stud wall between the kitchen and the utility room would give us more space. I questioned the fact that the loo would then lead straight into the kitchen, and he said that was now legal - but admitted that he didn't like the idea either.
We kept the wall/2nd door. Primarily for the loo, but also because we can shut the door on the washing machine and kitty litter tray0 -
Oh dear I wonder if the OP thought about the toilet opening directly into the kitchen. That would be a big no for me as well.
I think OPyou have an option to raise the incorrect measurements with them and say you are unhappy and want a reduction. Clearly marking up a second bedroom as being bigger than it is would mislead people and that's got to be addressed with them. However don't expect much from them.0 -
So you need to go to the show home and ask to visit one of the new builds like the type your buying and measure up yourself.
If they have a show home at a different location then go visit with your tape measure.
Check online other sites and check your plan carefully against the details on other sites.
Check the builders main website or call them0
