The kitchen area reveals only a sink, and there’s a small bathroom with a shower, toilet, and basin. Positioned in the backyard of a street with semi-detached houses, the property is offered with available parking and a minimum tenancy of 12 months.
The rent totals £12,300 annually, with a one-month rent deposit required upfront. Notably, the listing does not cover bills, and pets are not permitted.
The property description on OpenRent states, “We are proud to offer this delightful one bedroom, one bathroom studio flat in a great location. This property benefits from available parking. Property is offered furnished. Viewing highly recommended. Minimum tenancy is 12 months, maximum number of tenants is 12.”
This unique letting opportunity has sparked attention due to its ability to sleep twelve despite having just one double bed.
The cost of a year’s rent, £12,300, is juxtaposed with properties for sale in Shildon, Co Durham, where homes are available for as little as £15,000. However, it’s essential to note that bills are not inclusive in the rent, and the property does not allow pets.
