yes

The snag is that in many years time somebody may reconnect a boiler to
the chimney, and somebody taking a bath will get poisoned. That's not
likely in the foreseeable future, but after the house has changed hands
a couple of times ....

2 thoughts:

1) Any boiler installer would line the chimney as standard;

2) The *real* purpose of a bathroom fan is to keep humidity and damp
under control which means it will be dumping a lot of warm most air into
a cold chimney which will condense before it gets anywhere.

I would advise against it unless the OP sticks ducting in the chimney
with a properly drained condensate trap at the lowest point.

Common in the US for a small room with a toilet and sink. Also called a
'powder room'.

half bath

noun

NORTH AMERICAN
a room in a private home that contains a toilet and washbasin but no
bath or shower.

"if it's just a half bath for guests, a nice sink, a sturdy toilet,
and a decorative towel rack will do"


I thought the Yanks called it the (equally daft) "Restroom". What's
wrong with calling a toilet a toilet?

in a downstairs loo

'Restroom' is more often used for toilets in restaurants, schools, and
similar locations.
In a home it's typically referred to as a 'bathroom', whether or not it
contains a bath (or shower). I've even heard the toilet facilities on
planes referred to as bathrooms...
Emptying one's bowels is often called 'going to the bathroom'.

No, its called going to the bog, or sitting on the doughnut in granny's
greenhouse.

Often, in the UK, called a cloakroom - even if there's no room for 'cloaks'.
