A TINY studio flat in one of London’s most exclusive postcodes has gone on the market – but the new owner must have a very good head for heights.
The property – one of eight self-contained studios currently available in Primrose Hill – will doubtless be in high demand.

However, restless sleepers who toss and turn before finally nodding off may want to skip a viewing altogether.
That’s because the bedroom of the little home can be found atop a mezzanine floor that can only be accessed by with a steep climb.
The alarming sleeping arrangement means the occupant must scale a builder’s ladder to get some shut-eye.
A trip and a fall on the way to the bathroom would bruise more than just the resident’s ego.
Photos from the property show a steep plunge to the floor of the living space.
The bizarre images show little care or attention has been paid to the set-up of the flat.
The mattress has been propped in an alcove above the wardrobe, meaning there’s no space for the owner to sit up in bed without hitting their head on the ceiling.
Despite the obvious design flaws, the block of eight rooms is on sale for a whopping £1.9million.
