Hackney's council members found themselves appalled
when they saw a shed converted into a flat goes for £1000 monthly for rent. While
many in the UK would get this (I really believe a family or a young
professional would), the unique studio-type dwelling is probably no place like
home. The council is still looking whether the shed meets planning laws.
So let's define shed. Doing a quick search on Google,
you come up with images of a place where tools are placed. These can be big or
small depending on how big your farm or garden or lawn is. To be honest, it's
an outbuilding or a shack.
What I'm trying to say is it isn't designed to be a
dwelling, or to be let.
The flat costs about £1083 monthly including bills for
electricity, gas and water. What's more, real estate agents are in on the
thing. They're selling it as something like "a unique large ground floor
fully self-contained studio flat in standalone unit".
That's mighty lengthy. But then again, when I took a
look at the photos inside the shed, it has a small eat-in kitchen, some space
to fit the sofa, a good size for a bed and a fully tiled bathroom. Overall, it
isn't so bad, to be honest. For the price. It's also in a gated complex, as
seen in the pictures from The Guardian.
Well, would you bite this one? Maybe I would. It isn't
so bad. But it doesn't look at all nice. I can live in it, so I wouldn't really
mind at all.
