En suite is excellent for night wees, avoiding children and when you have people staying over. No poos is a good en suite policy imo.
You’re not the boss of my bum
All absolutely spot on.
If you have children, having a bathroom they don’t use is brilliant.
Is anyone truly the boss of their bum?
ever seen a house irl with one of those en suites that links two bedrooms
like in american films
We have one - main bathroom is on the floor below. Fuck having to go downstairs for a night wee.
SOMEONE thinks they’re too good too piss out the bedroom window
They’re called Jack and Jill bathrooms.
My brother had one in his halls of residence at university.
Had an En suite in a few houses and it really feels like a massive step down not having one any more.
Just not having to shamble around the house at night to get to the toilet is great.
It’s so much better if sharing.
My ideal would be a separate upstairs toilet, a separate downstairs toilet, and a separate bathroom.
I don’t really like relaxing in a bath right next to a toilet.
Two toilets are great, but any more than that just means more cleaning and anything to reduce the amount of time in my life spent cleaning a toilet the better.
I could possibly go for a free-standing bath in a massive bedroom though.
So, no, not fussed about en-suites. Anyone remember when we used to say “I used think inside toilets were the height of sophistication, but I’m having second thoughts”?
do what my grandad did and build a walk in shower in his bedroom directly into a built in wooden wardrobe, complete with a ‘false’ wooden exterior.

I had one in an old house. Main door from master bedroom. Sliding door from box room.
There were locks on both doors and nothing interesting occurred, sadly.
A friend of mine was viewing a house a few years ago and the previous owner had installed a toilet in what had previously been a walk in wardrobe in the main bedroom. The “room” was so small that you couldn’t shut the door if sat down on the toilet, so providing a lovely view for any partner who was lying in bed. Oddly enough they didn’t take the house.
Do you know if it’s still on the market
I think I would want one if I houseshared again, because I am a long sufferer of what is medically known as the epimers. Wouldn’t want strangers to have to deal with that. With my family I’m not as bothered lmao
Cons are as you mention really: despite your best work having a poo is not great.
Otherwise though it’s good
- Weirdly often you and a child need to go so having both helps
- when you have guests it separates you both nicely
- at night I never turn the light on, just sit down wee so it isn’t disturbing for my wife.
That said, much like a dishwasher, it’s great to have but you’ll absolutely live without it and I can’t conceive of specifically having one installed.
wut
You do, though. It’s nice to have but you can easily do the dishes.
Contrast that with the times I’ve tried to make do without a hoover or even a washing machine and honestly it is just soul crushing how much extra work is needed.
