Two-bed flat on sale for £1m has bizarre indoor swimming pool downstairs

A flat is on sale in north London with a full sized swimming pool in the basement.

Perhaps even more confusingly, the rest of the flat seems entirely conventional.

There's a "good sized open plan reception room with kitchen" and "two double bedrooms" the property description on Zoopla reads.

You also get a "bathroom with shower overhead" and a "small patio".

Oh, and a private swimming pool.

"The basement of the split level apartment comprises luxury private swimming pool, sauna, shower, seating area with folding glass doors, kitchenette, and w/c," the description reads.

The cost? A cool £1,000,000.

I mean, who wouldn't want a swimming pool in the basement? (Zoopla)

It's reached from a "spiral staircase" from the living room, and lit by transparent ceiling meaning, yes, a large section of the living room floor is effectively a window onto the pool.

The property description for the home within a few minutes walk of two tube stops describes is as a "one of a kind" and on Twitter, people couldn't agree more.

Alice Beverton-Palmer wrote: "A two-bed flat in Holloway with a SWIMMING POOL is indeed ** one of A kind!"

She added:  "None of it makes any sense! There’s also an sitting room above with chairs arranged round a window that looks down on the pool."

Cass replied: "It's got a whiff of Bond villain lair about it, like that's where they'd suspend you over the sharks whilst telling you about their evil plot."

"I genuinely couldn't speak when I saw it, couldn't put words together to process what I'd seen," Alice said.

Eliza wrote: "Do they have a floor plan I’m baffled???"

Alice replied: "There's no floorplan, it's killing me."

But one thought he had an idea of how it might have happened, writing: "This is exactly what I would have come up with if someone had asked me to draw my dream home at age 8."
