A tiny flat in London where a sofa is squeezed into the kitchen and there is no living room has hit the market for a whopping £ 1,257 a month.
People looking for a house to rent are well aware of the astronomical prices especially in the capital while the country suffers from a cost of living crisis. And anyone interested in this property would also have to put up a hefty £1,450 deposit.
The apartment's major selling point in its listing is its location in sought after Camden, north London, with all the amenities nearby "and the popular Camden Market". The property also has bike storage.
It comes with a tiny kitchenette with minimal cooking space and has a small fridge, oven and washing machine underneath the counters. As there is no space for a living area, a grey sofa has been squashed in which is just centimetres from the kitchen appliances.
A bed folds into the cupboard to create more space (Jam Press/Zoopla)There is a small gap, big enough to fit a coffee table and although there is no space for a TV, a new tenant can watch the washing machine spin for entertainment as the sofa faces the appliances. In the corner next to the oven, there is a dining table with one plastic chair.
