To start with, BS7671 requires the socket-otlet to be accesible, unless it's some kind of WAGO socket marked with MF.
The fact that at present there is a washing machine restricting access does not obviate the requirements of BS7671 that socket-outlets be further than 3m from the boundary of zone 1.
Yes you can put a towel rail in zone 2 easily. You could even put it in zone 1 or zone 0 if you so desire.
However if you wished to fix a low voltage electric towel rail in zone 2, the rail would have to have a minimum IP rating of IPX4 and you would also have to use an IPX4 FCU if the FCU were also to be within zone 2. Outside of the zones, an SFCU can be used.
