A studio flat with the bed crammed on the landing and a minuscule “lounge” area tucked under the staircase is available to rent – for an eyewatering £1,000 a month.
Advertised as a ‘duplex’, the cramped upstairs area shows just a narrow landing at the top of the staircase, with a bed pressed up against the balusters.
A modest-sized wardrobe offers the only visible clothing storage – meaning the new resident will likely need to scale back before moving in.

Meanwhile downstairs, tucked under the staircase are two wooden chairs and a small table with shelves – both of which face the kitchen – which constitutes the “lounge”.
The kitchen itself seems to be of a more standard size, with a few cabinets, a fridge-freezer, oven, hob, sink and a washing machine.
Under the stairs is also a small cupboard – providing some much-needed additional storage.
Not pictured is the bathroom, tucked opposite the bed at the top of the stairs, and featuring a shower, toilet and sink.
The flat is on Crantock Road in Catford, southeast London, just a short walk from Bellingham station.

The property, which is available with Acorn, is priced at between £1,000-£1,100 a month and requires no deposit.
It is described as a “duplex studio apartment” with an “open plan kitchen/lounge”, “upstairs bedroom” and “neutrally decorated throughout”.
The studio comes unfurnished and the landlord is looking for a long-term let – though details including the minimum tenancy allowed, council tax amount, and, crucially, the size of the property are omitted.
