In France they often do this, but unfortunately they often neglect to
include any kind of washing facility in the separate loo.

Our place has bath/toilet in one room and the sink in an adjacent room.
It might be because it was originally a farmhouse, and it was useful to
grant employee access to the sink area even when the toilet was in use -
although looking in the basement there's also evidence that the house was
doubled in size during the 1940s, and half of it is actually a much older
structure, so it's perhaps just an evolutionary thing.
