London’s property market continues to astound with its outrageous and unbelievable rental stories. The latest addition to this list is a garden shed being rented out for a staggering £1,300 per month. Marketed as an ‘outstanding studio annexe,’ this shed is located at the end of a back garden in Abbey Wood, Zone 4.
Unsurprisingly, the shed doesn’t offer much in terms of space. The Rightmove listing reveals a small, windowless kitchen, a cramped room that barely fits a double bed, and a minuscule bathroom with a shower. On top of the exorbitant monthly rent, tenants are also required to pay a deposit of £1,614.
If that wasn’t enough, tenants will have to share the garden with what appears to be a dog kennel. So, if you have allergies, this might not be the ideal place for you. Reddit users wasted no time in poking fun at this absurd rental opportunity. One user joked about renting the dog house, while another imagined the awkwardness of asking the landlord’s kids to stop kicking balls against the shed.
This isn’t the first time London has witnessed such bizarre property offerings. Just last month, a basement area of a ground floor flat in South London was sold for a mere £5,000. However, the buyers weren’t purchasing a new home; instead, they were expected to dig out their own flat from the basement.
Managed by Auction House London, this peculiar sale was described as a “development opportunity” to create a lower ground floor flat beneath an existing mid-terrace house. The buyers would have to excavate the area below the ground floor to create a new self-contained flat. It’s worth noting that the property is leasehold and still has 112 years left on the lease.
London’s property market never fails to surprise, and these stories serve as a reminder of the outrageous and often dystopian realities of renting and buying in the capital.
A stunning property in South Kensington has recently hit the market for a staggering £200,000. This unique opportunity offers the chance to create a one-of-a-kind living space or a highly profitable development, according to reports. Situated between Queen’s Gate Gardens and Elvaston Place, this property boasts breathtaking views of the surrounding rooftops. With its close proximity to popular shopping destinations like Cromwell Road and Brompton Road, as well as Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park, this location is truly unbeatable. London continues to amaze us with its range of extraordinary properties, from underground flats to double roof spaces and even sheds that rent for £1,300 per month.
