Tracy Woodhouse and her partner Graham Peck spotted hidden potential in the dilapidated Victorian WC.
They decided to renovate the building, which had been a public lavatory for nearly a century before it was closed in the 1990s, when its lease came up five years ago.
The £35,000 project is now finished and the couple have settled down in their new home, which they have named The Lookout. Their television is situated where the men's urinals used to be, and their bathroom is in the former ladies' toilets.
