Ordinary-looking terraced house is causing 'loo anxiety' over glass ensuite

If you're looking for a new house, there are probably a few must-haves on your list for the property.

Walls, are normally a given, right?!

But one home that's gone up for sale in Norwich, Norfolk, has a rather unique feature in the master bedroom that's caused a stir amongst house hunters.

Those that came across a three-bedroom home on Bishop Bridge Road were "horrified" by the lack of privacy the main ensuite bathroom offers as it has glass walls.

Looking at the images on Rightmove it's clear to see that both the bathroom's shower and toilet are on full display to the rest of the bedroom.

The advert for the terraced house, which is perfectly unassuming from the outside, was uploaded to Rightmove a week ago and it could be yours for £425,000.

Estate agents Sefftons listed the 'glass ensuite' as one of the key features that has been "lovingly updated and reworked to a high specification and finish" to bring "wow after wow" in the property.

They explain that the unusual layout is "designed to immerse you in the fantastic views", as the master suite overlooks the River Wensum at the rear of the home.

But people online seemed rather unsure about having a "room with a loo", with one even joking that it would give them "loo anxiety".

Sarah Weatherley, 50, said: "I have been looking quite intensively on Rightmove recently because I'm looking to move to be with my partner.

"As my partner and I aren't particularly tied to one area, I've been comparing what you can get for the same money in various areas.

"This house is on for about £425,000 and is in Norwich. The house itself looks like it's in a stunning location with lovely views so I clicked on it.

"The ensuite was something of a surprise - I did a double-take and had to zoom in for another look.

"I'm not sure I'd want to live with that bathroom - and my partner was pretty weirded out by it too.

"The house is lovely but we'd have to do something about those glass walls - maybe make the glass more opaque."

After spotting the listing, Sarah tweeted: "Today on Rightmove: Impress/horrify guests with a glass-walled khazi."

One user replied: "I'm hoping against hope that it's the sort of glass that magically goes frosted at the flick of a switch."

Another wrote: "I still wouldn't trust it. Like those 'automatic' locks on train toilets - gives me loo anxiety."

Someone else said: "Errrrr it's a NO from me!!!"

While a different user added: "Had one of those in a hotel room in Berlin. Was weird even as the only occupant. Brr."

The advert describes the three-storey property as an "exceptional elevated period home with stunning river and cathedral views" in the city centre of historic Norwich.

The East Anglian city is said to have "everything you would desire of a vibrant regional capital and has a real sense of history preserved" and has been voted in the top ten happiest places to live in Britain.

The house also boasts "full height picture windows to the master suite", three reception rooms and an "elevated riverside garden and al-fresco dining area".

Meanwhile the ground floor features two reception rooms, a kitchen and a conservatory to the rear of the house, and on the first floor there are two double rooms and a bathroom.

A spokesperson for Sefftons said: "With so much attention and more than ten viewings booked within hours of launching to market, it seems everybody wants a loo with a view.

"Yes, you could frost the glass or screen the room, but where’s the fun in that.

"Designed for a fun loving couple who enjoy all the city has to offer, combined 'an exceptional view, in more ways than one'."

Rightmove were contacted for comment.
