A one-bedroom apartment has been labeled a "joke" by house hunters - because it looks like a shed. The property description reads: “This lovely annex [sic] has been newly refurbished and is based just outside the town centre and only a five minute walk from the train station.
“Benefitting from parking, private walkway entrance and offered part furnished with all bills included.”
The studio flat, for which tenants will have to fork out a £1,154 deposit, has a small kitchen with a sink, microwave and small hob. If that wasn't enough, the apartment, which is in Maidenhead, Berkshire, is a stone's throw away from sewage works.
Chris Applegate fumed: “One thousand pounds per month for literally a shed in Maidenhead. Not even a full mattress on the ‘bed’. Is even by British slum landlord standards, gobsmacking.”
Helen Chester said: “Wow. Just wow.” Ash Whitley said Brits should protest about such pricey properties like the French are over pension changes. He added: “Is this a joke? £1,000 to rent a shed by the sewage works.
“British folks can we get a little more French please? They’re taking the p*ss out of us.”
One local quipped: “Goes and measures shed in the back garden.”
The property is being let by Chancellors and advertised on Rightmove.
