I agree - we wanted to put a corridor in ours (making the second room a bit smaller) but the stairs go the wrong way across the house & I can't be bothered to change that too. A lot of people do though, the popular option seems to be to move them so the bottom of the stairs leads directly to the front door rather than having them go across the house in the middle.

The bathroom downstairs restricts the space. You cannot change the layout, convert it to a utility, extend and make it a garden room or whatever.
Plus it's no good when having guests over as who wants to wander downstairs, bleary-eyed, in a towel, when their host is preparing breakfast?
I think a 2 bed with an upstairs bathroom is worth more than a 2+1 without, but it would be worth more still if you could create a corridor and still leave a usable sized bedroom.
