A potential tenant is being asked to fork out £1,400 every month on rent for this bedroom - but can only work from home once a week.

The Spareroom advertisement seeks a third person to complete the flat share in Hackney, east London, to live alongside a man in recruitment and a woman who lives in the space weekdays.

Photographs show the airy mid-terraced property has modern furnishings and devices, including a hob, microwave and large American style fridge-freezer in the kitchen.

The living room is well-decorated with blue painted walls, plants and mirrors.

But the property description states the home "isn't really suitable for remote working".

In full, Spareroom's description says: "Newly refurbished house that overlooks Victoria Park and is ten minutes walk into the village.

"Beautiful location and house with open plan living room, dining room and kitchen.

"You will be sharing with lovely friendly lady who’s there Monday to Friday.

"Other tenant is a 30-year-old man who works in recruitment.

"The space isn't really suitable for remote working, but one day per week could possibly work.

"I want to find a person who is easy to live with and brings good energy."

Working from home has increased in popularity since the Covid-19 pandemic, when it was enforced for millions of Brits due to lockdowns.

Rental properties in the area of the capital vary between £392 and £1,154 per week.

There is a space outside the property, closed off a small, walled garden with accompanying table and chairs.

There is only one bathroom between three people so tenants would have to share despite the hefty rent.

However, it is also tastefully decorated with marble tiles, and sink, toilet, shower and bath.
