SHED ACHE

Tiny one-bedroom SHED listed for £1,000 a month rent – and everyone is saying the same thing

A TINY one-bedroom studio flat that looks like a garden shed has been slammed by house hunters.

The cramped pad is up for rent at £1,000 a month in Maidenhead in Berkshire and has potential lodgers fuming.

The wooden shed-like apartment is listed as being "part-furnished" and has been branded as a "joke" as it doesn't even have a proper mattress on the bed.

It has mud smeared all over the front and door, and inside pictures show the tiny kitchen with a sink, microwave, and a small hob.

To make matters worse the apartment is just a stone's throw from the sewage works.

Chris Applegate fumed: “One thousand pounds per month for literally a shed in Maidenhead.

“Not even a full mattress on the ‘bed’.

“Even by British slum landlord standards, gobsmacking.”

Helen Chester said: “Wow. Just wow.”

Ash Whitley said Brits should protest about such pricey properties like the French are over pension changes.

He added: “Is this a joke? £1,000 to rent a shed by the sewage works.

“British folks, can we get a little more French, please?

“They’re taking the p*** out of us.”

Another said: “In my opinion, the housing market is f*****.”

One local quipped: “Goes and measures shed in the back garden.”

The property is being let by Chancellors and advertised on Rightmove.

Tenants will have to fork out a £1,154 deposit too.

The property description reads: “This lovely annex [sic] has been newly refurbished and is based just outside the town centre and only a five-minute walk from the train station.

“Benefitting from parking, private walkway entrance, and offered part furnished with all bills included.”
