A London studio flat that is so small that the washing machine is underneath the bed has been successfully rented out for £975 a month.
The owner will only rent the flat on North Road, Islington, which has two rooms including the bathroom and open plan kitchen, bedroom and living room area to someone on at least £29,250 per year.
This is when the average annual worker’s salary is £38,600 for full-time employees and £13,803 for those working part-time.

The property, featured on OpenRent , does come with a bathroom with a full-sized bath, though along with a toilet, shower curtain and sink

Described as a ‘clean and recently decorated studio flat’, it is suited to one household and two individuals – though it’s not quite clear how a second person would fit in the snug space.
Images of the flat show a surprisingly modern kitchen, though the property itself appears to offer no more than a few metres of living space.
Another photo shows a utility corner with a water heater, washing machine and electrical outlets, and just above it a ‘maisonette’ with a bed.
Just below the sleeping quarters appears to be a door to nowhere, or in the very least a door to the washing machine.
The bedroom space which has plugs and also a full sized mattress but no bed and is upstairs from the living room
In the kitchen, there is also an oven, a microwave, fridge and kettle which is also in the same room as the sofa and the bedroom which is in an alcove upstairs overlooking the living room below
There is also a window which looks out on Islington below and brings in what seems to be quite a lot of light
It is within walking distance of Caledonian Park as well as the tube station Caledonian Road on the Piccadilly line of the London Underground. Pictured: North Road in Islington

Despite the price, no bills are included and a £975 deposit (one month’s rent) is also required.
And in a revealing move showing just how dire London’s rental market is, the property has actually just been let – having been listed for under two weeks.
