Tiny studio flat in London costs more than three-bedroom home in North

Tiny studio flat in London with bed inches from makeshift kitchen could be yours for £862 a month – more than the rent for a three-bedroom home in North East

• Swiss Cottage flat comes with a single bed and a table and chair in a tiny room along with a separate toilet 
• Humble abode is too small to fit a sofa but does come with a single wardrobe and a chair but no bedside table
• Northumberland property, for rent at £765, also boasts a living room, dining room, kitchen and conservatory

A tiny studio flat in London with the bed inches from a make-shift kitchen is available to rent at £862 a month – more than a three bedroom home in the North East. 

In contrast the Northumberland property, in the village of Seaton Delaval, boasts three beds, a living room, dining room, kitchen and conservatory for the bargain price of £795 per month. 

But London renters could actually be getting a bargain in the sought after Swiss Cottage area as the average rent for a one bedroom flat in this location is £1,757 per month. 

The one bedroom Swiss Cottage flat also comes with a single bed and a table and chair, has its kitchen at the foot of the bed, features a small sink, a mini fridge, and hob as well as a microwave.

Estate agent at Berns & Co, West Hampstead, said: ‘It’s a standard studio flat, there’s nothing more to say.’

The abode in the North East, which can be viewed online at Zoopla, also features a huge garden, perfect for any families with children who want a safe place to play or for anyone who loves to entertain.

The semi-detached home has a much bigger kitchen than the studio, fitted with an oven and hob with plenty of work tops to cook a family meal.  

While the London property, up for rent on Zoopla, does not come with any drawers or bedside tables – and trying to ram them looks like it could prove difficult.

Renters then have to squeeze past the kitchen to get to the ensuite bathroom complete with a shower which is also too small to fit a sofa but does come with a single wardrobe. 

It has no oven or freezer and instead of a curtain the window is covered by a thin piece of cloth but, the tenant will have access to a washing machine.
