Studio apartment could be yours for £220,000 – but the only way to get to bed is a LADDER

A “CHARMING” studio flat could be yours for £220,000 – but getting into bed might be a struggle.

The only way to access the sleeping area at the unique east London property is a ladder in the middle of the living room.

It sits next to the sofa and leads up to a mezzanine level – a little larger than a standard double bed.

But while it may be an unusual way to hit the hay, it does save a considerable amount of space in the dinky 216sqft apartment.

Elsewhere there is a “contemporary” open plan kitchen-cum-living space and a “stylish” bathroom with a jet shower.

The whole place is set in a converted period cart lodge in suburban Chingford.

It borders Epping Forest – a sprawling green area perfect for hikers and mountain bikers.

The flat is on the market for £220,000 – a reduction from its initial listing price.

Estate agent Foxtons describes said: “Set on a quiet street this quirky property has been converted from a period cart lodge and offers a contemporary open plan kitchen/studio room, stylish bathroom with jet shower and a mezzanine sleeping area.

“The property is set in an excellent location close to the amenities and transport links of Chingford as well as local green spaces.”
