Just to follow the subject, I've got something the same in the kitchen.
Sometimes. Does smell like drains to me. The kitchen drain goes into the
main drainage via a u bend outside which has a drain above it for the
patio. So smells can't really come up via that. I have an outside loo in
the corner where the smell is most obvious - when it happens - but check
there is water in the u bend. It's not much used apart from in the summer.
Next door had an outside loo which backs onto mine - but had the toilet
removed and their boiler fitted in there. The builders who did all this
were related to The Lone Ranger...

I wondered just how well they capped things up after removing the loo -
but next door say they haven't got a problem.

I used to visit a house weekly as part of my job and often I got a whiff of what I thought
was a smell of a drain by the front door. It turned out to be a leaking gas pipe.

No gas pipe nearby. It's very definitely most obvious in one corner of the
room. And I'm pretty confident about the condition of my gas pipes. ;-)

I was thinking more of next door, who had a (gas?) boiler fitted, in their
outside loo which backs onto yours where the smell is strongest.

My thinking is it's a bit intermittent for that. And smells more like a
sewer than gas.
