bath room is the initial beef, along with front door
let me sketch it out
bear with me, i'm celebrating with Grimbergen
So as you can see, it IS small
front view has window door window
The house has a division, between left window and front door
To the left ( as seen looking at the house, from the street) are bathroom /kitchen and staircase 1/3rd
to the right is the living space , 2/3rds
Beef #1
Now the Bathroom is at the street side, not ideal , i better not forget the curtain !
Beef #2
The front door, opens up directly in the living room, not good for privacy, and/or drafts , loosing heat in winter...
Solution
install shower in small under roof room right above B'room
Replace left window by new front door
replace old front door, and right window, by modern tall window, double glazed and all that.
devide old bathroom into crapper room and hallway...
This way i solve both beefs
EG bathroom is private
front door opens up in a hall way instead of main living area
