Bedroom and bathroom leading of kitchen

The proposed new layout of my downstairs flat is a front door then hallway with various rooms off which leads to the kitchen. The kitchen has a door into the garden. From the kitchen is a small hallway leading to a bathroom and bedroom both with ground floor windows. The window in the bedroom is an egress exit window. Is this legal. Does the bathroom need a egress window. The original layout had a bathroom of the kitchen with no egress but I would like to move the 2nd bedroom. Thanks for any advice

Sorry will try again Down stairs Edwardian Flat. Front door leading to straight hall way which lounge and bedroom 1 come off and the hallway terminates at the open plane kitchen The kitchen has door to garden Opposite side of kitchen to front door hallway is another small hallway with doors to bathroom and bedroom. The kitchen is too small to put a hallway through. I believe that since both these rooms fire exit is via the kitchen they need egress windows to garden Just not 100% as to whether this is a requirement for the bathroom,

No only a habitable room will require a "means of escape" window. The bathroom doesn't count as a habitable room.

Check out part B of the approved docs for chapter and verse:
