A house has gone up for sale with a very unique en-suite set-up that chucks both privacy and hygiene out the window – as one expert warns you might get toilet plumes on your sheets.
The £550,000 property in Saffron Walden, Essex, has a bedroom with an open-plan loo design.
In the images, you can see the master bedroom fitted with a tiled bathroom, that includes a toilet and shower.

But there is no cut-off from the carpeted floor of the rest of the room.
An expert has warned that any en-suite set-up could bring unwanted contaminants into the bedroom – never matter one without walls.
Faecal particles can become airborne after every flush, settling on surfaces such as bedding.
This process is known as a ‘toilet plume’ and can be combated by cleaning your bedding regularly.
“En-suite bathrooms are a modern luxury, but they come with their own set of challenges,” said Mark McShane, an expert from Boiler Cover UK.
“By being mindful of hygiene practices and regularly cleaning your bedding, you can ensure your personal space remains a sanctuary of comfort and cleanliness.”
Aside from its bizarre bathroom layout, the property is quite nice.
It has four bedrooms, as well as a second bathroom which follows a more classic and private design.
The home also offers a huge garden space, as reported by Luxury Property News.
The property is on the market with estate agents, Intercounty.
“This delightful home is perfect for downsizers and families, being very close to the outstanding Saffron Walden County High School and within striking distance of the vibrant town centre,” the ad reads.
“This property offers both a garage and off-street parking for two cars, providing ample space for your vehicles.
“On the first floor, there are three spacious double bedrooms, providing ample space for family members or guests.
“A well-appointed family bathroom serves these bedrooms, offering both comfort and convenience.
“The second floor is dedicated to a luxurious principal suite, complete with an ensuite bathroom and a dressing area.”
