What actually is a Half Bathroom?

[Lovely2CU]

I've seen it mentioned here before? I'm guessing a room that has less bathroom fittings!!!...

It's a bathroom with no bathTUB nor shower, just a sink and a toilet. I have a 1/2 bath downstairs and two FULL baths upstairs

No bathtub; no shower. Just a toilet and typically a sink.

It is a bathroom that only has a toilet and sink.

Here in the states a half bathroom refers to a "powder room." Basically you have a toilet and sink, but no shower or tub. Is there a different term you use for this in England?

Gotcha - thanks for the replies.

We either call it a Toilet or Cloakroom. Cloakrooms are usually downstairs.

Around here in listings you see: half bath = sink & toilet, 3/4 bath = sink, toilet & shower stall, full bath = sink, toilet, and tub/shower.

You learn something new everyday! Our half baths are typically downstairs as well in a two story home. Although my home is different as we have a half bath downstairs, as well as the Master bedroom and Master bathroom. Our other two bedrooms are upstairs with the other full bathroom. I like having myself and my husband separated from my DD a little bit, gives us all our own space.

A half bathroom is a tiny room with a little toilet for people with very small bums.

Powder room up in Canada as well.

What do you call a room that ONLY has a sink and a mirror. No toilet? I thought that was actaully the powder room and the 1/2 bath has no tub/or shower.

I'd call that "the shower". I like one of these outside!

I'd call that a washroom, probably.

With just a sink and mirror would probably be called a washroom?!?!?!

1/2 bath has the sink and toilet.

From watching Income Property on HGTV which I believe to be based in Canada I have learned the difference between and 3 piece and 4 piece bathroom. Three piece is toilet, sink and shower. Four piece adds a tub.

My Mother in Law had this in her house. It was actually a 1 1/2 bath. There was a sink and toilet off the hallway, a door through that room to a shower/tub and a door through that room to a second sink and toilet in her room.
It was L shaped. A little odd but it worked well.
