yes most bathrooms were brought out from the back and put at the top of the stairs, the other half of that 'off room'/bedroom creating the corridor to a modern bedroom. We looked round loads o fhouses when we were buying and there were quite a few with the original arrangement. We still have separate reception rooms too- quite small when you have friends round but fantastic if the children want to watch telly and you want do do something else. The victorians were brilliant at making the best use of space. If you have ever wondered why so many unrennovated houses do not have a window or door at the back of the kitchen ,but a side looking window, while french doors go out to the garden from the reception, this is because the scullery and kitchen was the realm of the day maid- which most families, however modest employed- and you didnt want to be looking at her at her work while you were in your garden. See Noel Cowards film 'This Happy Breed' to get a good gander at the interior of the victorian/edwardian house in the inter-war years which was unchanged till the seventies. The absence of a telly as focus of a living room also made for a totally different arrangement of furniture- chairs in a semi circle round the fire, a work table at the side.
