A house hunter has shared her hilarious response after finding a London rental property on the market for £1,387 per month, with its bed stashed in a wardrobe.
Rachel Kitcat was casually viewing apartments on Rightmove when she stumbled across the quirky studio on St George's Drive, Pimlico, central London, with the bottom of the bed inches away from the oven.
The 25-year-old couldn't believe what she was seeing and quickly set about filming her reaction to the hidden bed for TikTok.
The video shows Rachel's face pasted over images of the property, as she says: 'Guys, just when you thought it couldn't get any worse.
The video shows Rachel's face pasted over images of the property, as she says: Guys, just when you thought it couldn't get any worse. She said that buying a property in London was out of the question, so she was going onto the rental market now, and that it wasn't looking too bad, relatively modern.
On the other side of the studio, the wardrobes were relatively new, it had a nice little table where you could eat your dinner on.
Five photographs of the property show the apparently spacious and stylish flat with a furnished kitchen and a large white closet sitting opposite the worktops.
The video then moves on to show the bedroom, with Rachel saying: Hey presto, bing bang bosh, open the wardrobe and there's your bed.
The pictures then hilariously show a bed concealed inside the closet. The new renters would have to drag it out and lay it on the kitchen floor, where it reaches all the way to the units.
Rachel continues, quipping: Imagine this, you're laying here after a one-night stand. Bosh, your bloke hits your head on the door, and then bosh, I hit my head on the other door, but fear not, if you just edge towards the end of the bed right here I can get you your fresh chicken nuggets at 4 am in the morning.
She said it was well worth fourteen hundred quid if you ask me.
Rachel from Woking, Surrey, uploaded the video with the caption: The wardrobe bed sent me over the edge.
The video has been liked by more than 5,100 people and has obtained dozens of comments from users left shocked by the price for the studio.
This is just unadulterated greed by the landlord and the owner should be named and shamed. That room is just a bedroom in a house. Not a flat within a house and this is simply despicable greed, but fortunately, no one's forced to rent it, it's a choice.
Our housing crisis is one of the biggest single failures of this government, which says a lot, considering all of the other nonsense. The housing situation is now so serious that an apartment like that, Pimlico or not, costs close to an average salary, once all the bills and council tax are included. At the same time, we allowed net migration of 500,000 people last year and dropped house-building targets, and people wonder why rents grew by 20 per cent in the principal cities last year - total stupidity.
Surely there must be some sort of stringent regulations in regard to fire and safety where this apartment is concerned. The landlord should never be permitted to get away with this and it's a disgrace, but this is actually what young people have to pay for to live.
But this should be made illegal because there should be a minimum square footage for human habitat and it should be imposed by law, and pricing these shoe boxes at a ridiculous price just raises the rent of all other apartments.
