Fury at £1,300 studio flat with tiny kitchen and 'hidden toilet and shower'

People searching for a place to live in notoriously expensive London are always looking for a bargain - or at the very least a home that isn't daylight robbery.

And, in central London, there is a studio flat for rent at a relatively cheap price for the area - but there is a catch.

The property is listed at £1,279 per month and is described by the estate agent as offering a "compact" living space, reports MyLondon.

The listing tells renters that the property comes with all the essentials, but initially it is tricky to find where the toilet, shower and kitchen are.

The property is described in the listing as having a "compact kitchen" and a "hidden away bath and shower".

The flat in Pimlico is located in a desirable area of Central London, which might explain the hefty price tag for such a small space.

The room is being let out via Foxtons on Rightmove, with the flat gaining attention on social media because of its hidden bathroom feature.

On the listing, the flat is described as: "A bright ground floor studio flat presented in great condition throughout boasting a compact kitchen, hidden away bath and shower and situated in an excellent location close to Victoria."

The "compact kitchen" described by Foxtons is a microwave and a small fridge.

There is a small surface which has just enough space to hold a kettle, but not much else.

The cupboard doors open to reveal the washing area, but with those doors open you wouldn't be able to enter the toilet.

The toilet is hidden to the side of the bed meaning that the sleeping area is completely surrounded by the shower, tiny kitchen, toilet, a small desk to the side and a TV placed on the floor.

The property gained attention on social media as people couldn't believe how much the property costs each month.

One person was shocked at the description of the space, she said: "The listing says ‘boasting a compact kitchen’ - so compact it’s non existent!"

Another shocked viewer of the property was worried about the conditions inside the flat.

She said: "The room would be so damp all the time from the bathroom cupboard."

However, one person said these prices are common for Pimlico, he said: "Mate I work on refurbing flats in Pimlico and the prices are crazy."
