A studio flat has hit the market for £1,300 a month but you have to be comfortable sleeping in a bizarre bed hanging over the sofa.

Room in the pokey pad is so limited you'll need to be happy to hover in the air while you catch 40 winks - but at least can watch TV before you doze off.

The small bedsit is in Finsbury Park, north London, and it has been advertised on OpenRent.

It has a modern kitchen which boasts a microwave, fridge freezer, and no oven, but does have a tiny hob.

The tiled bathroom includes a shower, bath, toilet, and sink - and you don't have far to travel if you nature calls at night.

There is a small lounge area with a Freeview telly but the sleeping arrangements look quite peculiar.

The floating bed is accessed via block steps which have boxes in them to increase storage.

But despite being attached to the wall, there is only one pole supporting it.

There is no parking or garden at the property - and only one tenant is allowed.

As well as the monthly rent, there is also a £1,300 deposit needed.

The listing reads: “This is a perfect self-contained studio flat available for anyone who is looking for a clean, modern and well-located space.

“If you are already in London and need a space for a short period of time or if you are coming to spend your holidays this is the space for you.

Only one person is allowed to live in the pricey studio (Jam Press/OpenRent)

“Only three minutes walk from Finsbury Park tube station, buses and train.

“WIFI is free and available since your first day of stay.”

But it adds: “The studio has a comfortable suspended king bed, you get to the bed through a built-in wooden staircase.

“Underneath the bed, there is a double sofa bed.

“There is a good size closet, a coffee table, hidden drawers on the staircase to get to the main bed and several storages to keep everything you need. There is a flat TV with Freeview.

“The studio has wooden floors, and it has a fully equipped modern Kitchenette with different cabinets.

“It is quite bright as it has a big window by the kitchenette. There is a fully tiled bathroom with a bath and a cabinet to keep your personal belongings.”
