An Indulgent Dip: This Terraced London Home Gets a Stunning Sunken Bath

When thinking of a quick home renovation or a makeover, the bathroom is not a space that springs to the top of our wish list. That spot is often reserved for the kitchen or the bedroom. Get past those two, and you tend to focus on the living room or even the dining area before you work your way towards the kitchen.
