Yanbu.

ChiefWiggumsBoy · 15/07/2022 23:34

Fuck that's only a single bed surely?! I feel claustrophobic just seeing the pic.

SarahSissions · 15/07/2022 23:35

Is that bed actually built in?

FiveShelties · 15/07/2022 23:36

No danger of falling out of bed😁

Where is that?

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 15/07/2022 23:36

Is that actually bed2 or have they just squeezed a bed onto the landing as well?

StoneofDestiny · 15/07/2022 23:36

😂there isn't really room for that bed!

bellac11 · 15/07/2022 23:37

How do they change the bedding?

Butterflyfluff · 15/07/2022 23:38

How do you change the sheets on that mattress?! 😂

PickAChew · 15/07/2022 23:40

You would at least want room for a bedside table in a bedroom and to be able to get out of the side of a bed. Even then, spacious would be pushing it.

Welcome to the London property market. Lots of similar examples are available for half a million or more. Aimed at first time buyers who can't afford them.

Windbeneathmybingowings · 15/07/2022 23:45

I’ve seen fridges bigger than that.

It says beachfront parking so must be out of London.

I have a large walk in cupboard upstairs that I could just about squeeze a single bed in ,but it's not a bedroom!

I thought agents weren't allowed to charge administration fees to tenants anymore?

TuftyMarmoset · 15/07/2022 23:55

Haha, I looked at the price and thought that’s still a bargain though. I used to pay more rent than that for a 1 bed flat (not London) but to be fair it did have a cupboard that was probably bigger than that bedroom!

BritWifeInUSA · 16/07/2022 00:00

My wall-in wardrobe is bigger than that.

Sorry I found it on my screenshots from a couple years ago, was a few roads away from me in a suffolk seaside town known for Londoners buying second homes in. That’s definitely the second bedroom but surely there are minimum requirements for soace

The Housing Act 1985 stated that a bedroom for an adult had to be more than 70 square feet, if it wasn't over 50 square feet it wasn't a bedroom but a box room and could not be used as such, between 50 and 70 square feet it could only be used by a child up to the age of 10. Those are the rules we used when we considered statutory overcrowding in respect of applications on the housing register. BTW, the UK has some of the lowest standards in respect of bedroom sizes in Europe . I find it shocking we tolerate such poor conditions.

Lowestoft? Southwold?

MayISuggestSomeThickCutSteakChipsToGoWithThat · 16/07/2022 06:23

Surely that's a bed that being shoved at the end of the hallway or landing!!

Chiwi · 16/07/2022 06:33

@DeepSeededUrbanDecay
Lowestoft 😂😂😂 have you ever been there? You can rent big a 3 bed for that in lowestoft, no one from London is buying up housed in lowestoft.

DockOTheBay · 16/07/2022 06:45

It doesn't say the bedroom is spacious, but that the whole flat. Maybe the rest of it is huge 😉

Getoff · 16/07/2022 06:52

As a result of another thread, I was looking on Rightmove what LHA would buy me in my part of London. There was a two bedroom flat where the second bedroom was just over four feet wide. You could have got out of the side of the single bed in the picture, as long as you had very thin legs.

I think it must have been a one-bedroom flat that was subdivided. No builder would have built a room like that, surely?
