En Suites

Roger Mellie Man on the Telly

Vile vile spaces.

My missus hates listening to me squeezing one out in the morning and if I drop a howler the stench permeates the bedroom. They are handy for a 3am whizz though.

Fortunately we're moving to a normal house shortly.

They are called bathrooms outside of the UK and Ireland.

Is the en suite the only bathroom in your house? If not (I hope not) would you not just use another bathroom and give your poor wife a break.

Toilet.

I hate them.

Change your diet/sleep patterns/first cigarette of the day. You're a real amateur OP. You should always aim to get rid of the demon of dinners past 'on the clock' in work. Take your time, as long as it's on company time.

Ours has a door that we find quite handy.

The Celtic tiger 2 square meters ensuite is handy when you have it exiting both ends and can sit on the toilet and rest on the sink.

No problem with them myself. Pro-tip: It it's gonna be a stinker, flush when it hits the water and then continue as normal.

no they're not. A bathroom has a bath in it. An en suite is accessible directly off a bedroom, not the hallway...

I would get stage fright knowing that someone can hear every movement.

They were a huge bonus in houseshares. Everyone had to look after their own bathroom.

Parchment

I hate them. I dont need a toilet that close to my bed.

Godsend having your own bathroom when you have kids, espcially older ones.

dudara

Useful when we have guests staying (or when both of us got food poisoning), but otherwise a royal waste of space. Would rather have storage space

mikeymouse

The unwritten rule;

" No solids in the ensuite"

First world problems!!!

I love my ensuite, although its another bathroom to clean.

Agreed, god send in a house share

Why would people hate en-suite bathrooms when they are very handy?

Our one is in apartment and is of a decent size, like in a hotel not the original poky ones that some older 3 bed semi houses have.

Great when people stay over to have 2 bathrooms. Wouldn’t live anywhere now without one.

For those worried about smells, I usually find closing the door when leaving can perform miracles.

Aglomerado

Poo pourri pre- dump spray, OP?

Absolute waste of space in my house, I'm planning on taking the shoer/sink/toilet out, closing all the plumbing off and making a little office/storage space instead.

En suites all over the camp are overkill in most regular houses, I think. I have a tidy second WC downstairs tucked under the stairs, including a little corner sink. When the door is closed you'd have no idea it was even there.

Whaddya going to do with your old office?

Its the first thing i asked for when doing plans for new house. Actually, I'm having two. Current house has only one bathroom. I have yet to shower without DH or DS coming in to take a pee. I just want to shower in peace. 5 minutes. Apparently its cruel that i lock the door. I can understand DS needing to pee at short notice, but DH is only in for a gawk

About to move house and my husband is insisting we sleep in the master bedroom with ensuite (current houses' 2nd bedroom is bigger than master with ensuite).

I'm dreading it as poo smells will still drift to bedroom, I don't want to go number 2 when he's in the bedroom, we're on different schedules and I can see him waking me with fan going on, showers, noisy man-pissing etc.

I'm extremely precious about my sleep.

Wouldn't be without one, hardly every use the main bathroom. I plan on putting one in every bedroom when I build my own place (as well as walk in wardrobes before someone says more storage would be more useful).

Pretty uncommon thing in houses i lived in in The Netherlands, the en suite. But storage we do
Never understood why i had 3 rooms to take a **** but no space to store my empty suitcases.

DH? David Hasselhoff??

DS? David Seaman ??

What are they doing in your house watching you crack one off?

My parents house has four bedrooms and five and a half bathrooms - that's how it was designed. Only three and a half are used regularly.

Lived in NL for seven years and found it strange to have so few bathrooms for a family home.
Normal houses here have plenty of storage so plenty of room for an extra bathroom.
