Believe it or not, the reprodution town houses at both Augusta Raurica and Wroxeter had them in the kitchen.

This is so both functions could share a fresh water supply and a waste water drain. Only a few private houses possessed toilets, though. In Wroxeter, there was also a toilet in the Caldarium.
For information, the military Bath house at Segedunum has them in the Apodyterium.

Yes, in or close by to the kitchen. I remember seeing this frequently in photos of the houses in Pompeii via a fantastic web site, the link of which was posted here and I have since lost. The web site listed the buildings of Pompeii and corresponding photos, someone walked the site and recorded and photographed them.
