I was poking about on Rightmove and found.........

[Pipbin]

I love looking on Rightmove for random stuff mainly tiny London flats.

Well I found this interesting bed
This teeny tiny flat

What stuff have you found?

[Lweji]

That thing in Pimlico is more like a bedsit broom cupboard.

[Elledouble]

That Pimlico flat is insane. Smaller than my bedroom and costs over twice the price of my whole house.

I used to have a friend who 'had the use of' a flat in Pimlico. It wasn't a particularly fancy flat, but it blows my mind how much it must be worth.

[MrSlant]

Well it's a while since I did holiday jobs in my dad's office ('a while' may refer to the time it takes continents to shift ) so I guess I'm allowed to miss rules changing. That said it seemed like a good and sensible rule to me!

For some reason though these Rightmove details are making me hanker after my city living, flat dweller days. Would love a lottery win so I can have my house in the sticks and a city pad.

[Sillybillybonker]

You could put something hard on top of the bed and viola! it becomes a dining table ;)

[BYOSnowman]

I meant from living space - I thought fire regs meant you had to have an exit - I'm sure my friend had to go through a huge rigmarole to section off her kitchen from the front hallway

Where would you put your clothes? If it was a weekday home for someone who works long hours (mp!) you would probably rip the kitchen out for storage!

[Oliversmumsarmy]

I Think whoever designed the ops first one missed a trick. Change the kitchen area into a bedroom area adding a stud Wall where the dividing units are and possibly a stud wall and a door to divide the area off then move the kitchen into the bed area and you have a one bedder as opposed to a studio.

[TensionWheelsCoolHeels]

Ooh, this is just the thread for me - I came across this just before Xmas. Only 'meh' bit is the bathroom. Not sure what they were thinking. Maybe they ran out of budget or summat.

[peppielillyan]

pretty cute flats, but too expensive...

[grumpysquash2]

OMG 9 square metres for £300k.
That is completely outrageous.
I used to have a flat that was 48 square metres - a 1 bed - and it was all pretty small, not really big enough for two people and belongings as a main home (fine for just me). But 9 sq m. You would get cabin fever within about 5 mins.

[Pipbin]

I love that Tension, the terrace especially. Very busy though.

[tabulahrasa]

That second one had two floor plans, lol, two, for a cupboard sized room with an en-suite, why does it need two floor plans?

[Devora]

When I was young and very poor I used to rent a flat with the toilet and shower IN the kitchen. I'm not claiming it was legal, though

[Devora]

Tension, that flat is amazing. A bit wood-y for me but I could learn to live with it to get those views . Agree that the bathroom isn't quite working...

[RaphaellaTheSpanishWaterDog]

Ooh yes Tension, that's right up my street - or rather I wish it was!

MrSlant, I'm the same - in our last village (Wiltshire) we had friends with a gorgeous medieval thatched cottage that was their weekend home and during the week they lived in their London pad - a mansion flat near the King's Road

[sparechange]

Tension
The staircases in that flat are giving me the heebie jeebies
Imagine falling down them

[Whatsername24]

Tension that flat is incredible. I must buy a lottery ticket this week!

[Devora]

You're quite right, sparechange, I hadn't noticed that before.

You've just saved me from a very expensive mistake

[Kryptonite]

Gawd, am I glad I don't live in London. That's absolutely insane price for what it is!
Here, you're 10 minutes from a city centre but also 10 minutes from beautiful countryside too.
£315,000 gets you a beautiful, detached, 4 bedroomed house with extensive gardens near here! just looked to see

[Aussiemum78]

God that last one. If you have five million pounds, go buy a one million pound house (which will be bigger) outside of London and just retire?

I don't understand the point of city living when it involves paying millions and working your arse off to live in a shack.

[TensionWheelsCoolHeels]

It's great isn't it? But £5m is ridiculous no matter how fab it is!

I spent ages trawling through loads of £m+++++++ properties and they all have a samey-ness about them. Huge fuck off kitchen (that's clearly never used), indoor (teeny) pools, small gyms/big mirrors, and the must-have private cinema bleurgh. That flat was just different enough to make me think 'yup that's me to a tee if you ignore the bathroom

I must get that winning lottery ticket to winalot sharpish, I'm anonymous enough here for no one to realise it was me!!!

[Pipbin]

I see the Pimlico one says that it's set off I first floor half landing! Is that some kind of selling point?

[amysmummy12345]

The cupboard flat is three and a half times more expensive than we paid for our three bed house with massive garden!!! Crazy!

[Pipbin]

And you can't even park!

[mrsmortis]

what is it with over exposing photos? Is it meant to make the place look more valuable? Particularly on the Pimlico flat and the one after it.

[Pipbin]

I think that's to make it look like anything other than a pokey cupboard.
