A SPECTACULARLY modern hunting-cabin-style home with a bold ‘bedroom’ has just hit the market, and it looks fabulous.
Quirky bedroom aside, this studio flat wouldn’t look amiss as a cosy bolthole in the American wilderness – with a few contemporary tweaks.

There are modern appliances dotted around the apartment, including a TV, fridge, washing machine, and even a modestly sized wine cooler.
But these hardly detract from its rugged feel, which is reasserted by hanging animal skin and skull, not to mention the firewood lodged into the walls.
While a great place for stacked logs, seasoned cabin-dwellers are unlikely to be bowled over by these “clever storage ideas”.
The bedroom – only accessible through a small rectangle carved into the wall – is perhaps best described as a wood-panelled igloo.
While a possible deal-breaker for the claustrophobic, it is also marvellously innovative use of space in what, with 334 sq ft of interior space, could have been an overly pokey studio.
And it is fitted with two metal bars and protruding wooden blocks to help you manoeuvre into the snug bedtime retreat.
Opposite this one-of-a-kind boudoir is a fireplace encased within a distressed brick wall that has the whiff of a New York loft appartment apartment about it.

The dual-purpose living room and the kitchen has a generous amount of natural light trickling in from large windows in front of the sink – a perfect set-up for those prone to lose themselves while doing the washing up.
While the bathroom uses both wood and stone to maintain the industrial log cabin feel, and to brilliant effect.
All this outdoorsy-style cabin is missing is, well, access to the outdoors.
But the agents have included pictures of a large garden which, we can only assume, a buyer would be able to make use of.
Overall, whether you are a rugged outdoorsman or working-from-home tech whiz, an introverted brooder or a gregarious entertainer, this place seems to have something for everyone.
The flat is on Albion Road in South Sutton, Surrey, within touching distance from Sutton Train Station.
