That's a bit of a step down! House hunters left outraged after £750/month 'family friendly' London studio flat where the front door is a WINDOW goes up for rent

House hunters have reacted with outrage after a 'family friendly' studio flat was listed online where the door appears to be a repurposed WINDOW.

Those searching for properties on the website Rightmove couldn't believe their eyes when they spotted the apartment being put up for rent.

The studio flat on London's Edgware Road is on offer for a staggering £750 a month and has been advertised as having 'great location for transport links'.

But it can only be accessed through what appears to be a window with steps leading down to the main room.

The tiny bathroom also appears to be converted out of a former cupboard, while the kitchen appeared to have only a sink, microwave and a small fridge.

It continues a worrying trend for tiny barely habitable spaces being offered for huge prices.

Just last week, a landlord tried to rent a tiny flat in Stockwell, south London, with the bed pushed inside a cupboard for £1,050.

Although the Edgware Road flat is cheaper, it also appears smaller, with a tiny strip kitchen.

Those who rent it will also have to climb through a window and down a rickety-looking wooden staircase to access the main bedroom and living room.

A description on rightmove reads: 'Newly built studio flat to rent. Rear of shops, close to public transport and plenty of restaurants.

'Please note that the property will be available to move in from 03/06/21 as we are finishing the kitchen fit out.

'Property comes furnished or unfurnished (tenant can decide). DSS enquiries welcome.

Online viewers slammed the entrance as 'ridiculous' after the advert showed stairs leading down from what appears to be a window at street level

Those who spotted the ad said they were horrified by the quality of accommodation.

One simply said: 'This is ridiculous.'

Another said of the property, which is marketed by OpenRent: 'How has this even passed building regs omg.'

One said: 'How can this be legal? Such a health hazard.'

One fumed: 'These landlords are really trying to flip it however way they can.'

Another simply said: 'The audacity.'

And another one said: 'I assumed it couldn't possibly be real until I clicked through and saw for myself.'

The listing now appears to have been removed from Rightmove and also from Open Rent. 

Both organisations have been contacted for comment.
