A studio apartment has entered the rental market in Sheffield, but its bed might make you think twice about side-sleeping.
Priced at £575 per month with gas, water, and council tax included, tenants only need to budget for their electric bill and broadband.
While the price is noteworthy, it’s the bed that truly grabs attention.
Landlords often employ creative methods to maximize space and profit, but this bed is on a different level—literally.
Described as a “mezzanine double-bed over the bathroom pod and kitchen,” it’s an unconventional place to rest.
Perched on a shelf above the hob, the bed is accessible by a ladder and hovers above the bathroom doorway.
Despite the cramped quarters, the setup is marketed as “giving the best use of the studio’s living floor space.” The compact flat includes a sofa, a small kitchen area, and a bathroom.
Just remember to close the bathroom door, or you risk soaking your bedsheets. The apartment also features a washing machine and open storage for your belongings.
Located in a Victorian property converted into flats and studios, the studio is in the heart of the city, close to local amenities and the university’s main campus.
However, it’s worth noting that street parking is available, but the flat doesn’t qualify for a residents’ parking permit.
With a minimum tenancy of 12 months, the studio is student-friendly but not suitable for families, making it ideal for a single occupant.
Just be cautious with your cooking; fragrant meals might cling to your clothes and bed sheets.
And if you roll over in your sleep, you might find yourself crashing into pots and pans on your way to a harsh landing.
The property is listed by landlord Richard M on OpenRent.
