A studio flat is on the market for just over a grand a month – with the bed in a windowless cupboard.
The property – situated between Stockwell and trendy Brixton in south London – cost £1,050 per month, excluding bills.
The part-furnished one-room flat is described as ‘bright and airy’ and ‘charming’.
Snaps of the property show the one-room flat with a well-fitted kitchen and small living area.
This is the £1,050-a-month studio flat which is being offered for rent in Brixton, featuring a bed in a cupboard accessed by a ladder
The new resident will have to slither into the bed, which does have a couple of book cases and decorative cornices, right
There is a snug bathroom with a shower situated tight to the toilet. It also has wooden floors and an electric heater
Anyone considering entertaining, they can host an intimate dinner party for a guest while looking out on the garden
It features a tiled bathroom with a shower, and the living room even features an original fireplace.
But up a wooden ladder inside a crypt-like cupboard is the bed, a double mattress shoved inside the shallow space with two lamps at the end.
Bizarrely, instead of using the living space – which could comfortably fit a bed – the landlord has shoved a bunch of mis-matched shelves, a tv cabinet and a curtained wardrobe into the space, alongside a lumpy-looking futon.
The description from estate agents Coopers of Stockwell reads: ‘This bright and airy studio flat offers a charming and affordable living space in an unbeatable location.
‘The versatile layout has plenty of in-built storage and there is a stunning shared garden.
‘Situated down the picturesque road of St Martins, the property is ideally located – only a five minute walk to Stockwell station and nearby to all the amenities that Brixton’s vibrant High Street has to offer.’
Social media users branded the home their ‘Rightmove highlight of the week’.
John McGrath said: ‘I see they have spruced it up/ got a photographer in. “Bright and airy”.’
But Francesca said: ‘Please don’t, I literally used to sleep in a kitchen on a foldout bed for £700 per month’.
Depending on the weather, the new resident can cook a barbecue on a small terraced area
The £1,050 cost does not include bills such as electricity, though there is a plug in electric heater to keep you warm in winter
The kitchen looks out into the living room area allowing any guests to smell the food as it cooks
