The proposed new layout of my downstairs flat is a front door then
hallway with various rooms off which leads to the kitchen. The
kitchen has a door into the garden. From the kitchen is a small
hallway leading to a bathroom and bedroom both with ground floor
windows. The window in the bedroom is an egress exit window. Is this
legal. Does the bathroom need a egress window. The original layout
had a bathroom of the kitchen with no egress but I would like to move
the 2nd bedroom.
Thanks for any advice

Sorry will try again
Down stairs Edwardian Flat. Front door leading to straight hall way
which lounge and bedroom 1 come off and the hallway terminates at the
open plane kitchen
The kitchen has door to garden
Opposite side of kitchen to front door hallway is another small
hallway with doors to bathroom and bedroom. The kitchen is too small
to put a hallway through.
I believe that since both these rooms fire exit is via the kitchen
they need egress windows to garden
Just not 100% as to whether this is a requirement for the bathroom,

No only a habitable room will require a "means of escape" window. The
bathroom doesn't count as a habitable room.
