Default Wash-hand basin in confined space

I have a small terraced househouse with a bathroom off the kitchen.
The bathroom has no wash hand basin, and there is a radiator in the
only logical place for it. is there a whb small enough to mount above
a rad, and how would I drain it? Or is there another way of doing this?

Depends how high the rad is. If it's too high, change it for one that
isn't.

You would need to connect the waste from the basin to a trap and thence
to a soil pipe. There are fittings you can attach to the toilet waste
to take the output of a basin.

You could replace the radiator with a smaller double or triple
panel one to get the same heat and make space. However, I would
warn you that radiators are notorious for going rusty if the
outside gets exposed to moisture (enamel coating is not waterproof),
and so positioning one under a sink will likely result in rust
marks appearing on it before long.

Surely there must be some room? Does the bath go all along
one wall with the door next to it, or what? Could you use
a corner basin?
