Floor plan - puzzled!

Are there other houses that are similar on the street. I always snoop on rightmove and zoopla to see what other people have.1

The door from the bathroom to that box room does look to be an original one.

I noted that too, which made me wonder if the box room was originally the bathroom and where the bathroom now is was landing space with window.Keep_pedalling said:The door from the bathroom to that box room does look to be an original one.

I think that is the most likely explanation, there would also have been a seperate loo.Annie1612 said:

Noticing the vent in the top right hand corner leads me to believe it was a main bathroom split in 2 to make a study room. If it was a bedroom then it would have made sense to configure it the other way round.1

Are the "bedrooms" big enough to be so under overcrowding regulations? I've yet to meet an agent who is aware of them. See..

Passive vents of that type were commonly used in 1930's bedrooms - so it doesn't necessarily mean it was a bathroom originally.TheJP said:Noticing the vent in the top right hand corner leads me to believe it was a main bathroom split in 2 to make a study room.

Looking at LA12 0EG it appears to be the only one on the road with this design. Most of the road is semis and the only other detached is an adjacent property that clearly has a different footprintChieveley said:Look at the floorplans of other houses the same style? Rightmove sold might help.1 -
Are you planning renew the bathroom? If so, you could make a narrow passageway into the bedroom, and redesign the bathroom to fit into the much smaller space left.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?1

A friend lives in a house built in the very early 1930s without an indoor bathroom so it is possible it that the house was similarly built without one. But hers is 2 bed at the bottom end of the market. Definitely worth looking for floor plans of similar houses. In any case I’d want to remodel that layout - and factor the cost into the purchase price.1
