House hunters berate landlord for renting out tiny “shed”

HOUSE HUNTERS have slammed a one room “tomb” which is currently on the market for £200 a month.

The small property in Oldham, Greater Manchester has been berated by Twitter users who have wondered if it is even legal to live there.

It is currently being advertised on Facebook marketplace by a private landlord and is listed as: “Private one room garden home en-suite with WiFi and including all bills.”

Images show the incredibly tiny “property” as being one room that has little room at all for any form of furniture.

Images of the shockingly small property appeared onto social media.

A grey velvet sofa takes up the vast majority of floor space and doubles as a bed – the same length as the window above.

There is no door between the living quarters and the “en-suite” bathroom and a small chemical toilet sits right at the top of the bed.

A small bathroom complete with a tap and shower is situated to the rear of the unit.

According to the seller’s description, the property is: “Newly modern built and private.

“It has onsite CCTV and private parking right outside the property.
