[Pipbin]

This is a studio flat in a self contained house.

I love it, I always look at the set ups they have in ikea for this kind of living space, however I would have to live there alone and it costs twice what my 3 bed terrace is worth, so on balance I'll give it a miss.

. The world has gone completely mad.

London has gone completely mad. The rest of us are quite sane.
My 3 bed semi cost £1k less than that.

The price will be due to it being a highly desirable area.

Personally, I'd be too scared to sleep in a bed that high up. Don't like the idea of stepping on the kitchen to get to bed either (I'd never get up them after a glass of wine either )

I'd be scared of falling out of bed!!

It does have a lot of storage for a place that size. More that the average new build!

Central London house prices are crazy. My 3 bed house in London Zone 4/5 cost apx £80,000 less than this. Less desirable area but I think I can rather suffer that.

That should say 'would rather suffer...' not can - apologies for my awful sentence structure.

It's cute, I like it and no upstairs or downstairs neighbours to annoy you. I think it represents good value for money.

Pinkje, you have to sit on a cushion on the floor!!! In what realm is that good value for money?!

Jesus wept, my utility is bigger than that.
Crazy small..is the loo in the shower?

And you would think they could hve painted the damp wall.

Is it near good schools? A family will be 'living' there in order to get a place!!

how damp and smelly is that going to get when it is lived in?

no-one could be that desperate to live in London.

If you click on 'sold nearby' there are pictures of it from 2008, when it was a more traditional styled studio.

I've just noticed the listing calls it a one bedroom terrace - really!?

It's a converted garage isn't it?

Why would you pay that much for that, even if it is Islington.

I guess that it's a house though really. It's not a flat as such is it.

I suppose so Pipbin, although I think your description of 'studio house' is probably more accurate.

Wow!

It's ridiculously expensive, and the damp is a worry, so no way would I be interested even if I wanted a tiny London dwelling. But I do like what they've done with it and the use of space. That kind of layout and design could be used to make modern affordable living pod type things for students etc.

You couldn't pay me £275k to sleep in that bed.

The foot end of the bed is the "edge" with the drop. It would be quite hard to fall off feet first surely.

I would love being up there with the little cupboards!

Ridiculous

Exactly my first thoughts dotdotdotmustdash!

I cycle along there too/from work. It's a veh naice area.

London house prices are NUTS. We often think living here just doesn't make any sense when you earn a 'normal' wage. Sadly, my job doesn't exist outside London so we're stuck, for now.

That's not a bedroom, its a shelf!
