A tiny studio flat in London where the bed almost touches the kitchen cabinets was listed to rent for £595 per month.
The property, located on Churchill Road in Willesden, north west London, is advertised as a “self-contained studio to let, suitable for one person”.
In photos of the studio, the room appears to be just over two metres wide, with a single bed pushed against the wall beneath a small window.
At the foot of the bed is the kitchen sink – so close that you could pour yourself a glass of water from the comfort of your bed.
However, the tight squeeze means you might struggle to open the cupboards below it.
The fridge, oven and hob are also within touching distance of the bed.
According to the listing, storage space is located under the bed.
There is also a bathroom, but no garden or parking.
The rental is listed at £595 per month – £71 more than the average UK rental price of £524pcm, according to rental website SpareRoom.
The flat also requires a deposit of £686.53, which, equivalent to five weeks’ rent, is the maximum legally permitted.
Thankfully, the price includes electricity and water bills, and it also comes furnished.
According to the listing on OpenRent, the property is best suited to one person. Students, families (of no more than two people) and people on DSS incomes are welcome, should it tempt them.
Despite the tight squeeze, the studio has been snapped up yesterday (17 May) and is no longer available.
