In tens of thousands of terraced houses, where the bathroom was added
as an amenity in later years, there is not much choice but to have a
bathroom off the kitchen

My surveyor told me the ventilated lobby between kitchen and
bathroom was never required, but was a very common misreading
of the building regs even by some architects and BCO's until
the wording was changed to clarify it.

It was required under the Public Health Act c1962 and compliance with
this was a requirement if you were getting an improvement grant -
back in my early BCO days (late 1970s) we were still seeing lots of
grant aided bathroom extensions/conversions to older terrace houses.
