A tiny ‘tomb’ that is little bigger than a double bed has been criticised by house hunters after it went up for rent for £200-a-month.
The private rental in the back garden of a house in Oldham, Greater Manchester, has been berated by social media users after appearing on the Facebook marketplace.
Advertising the tiny space, the landlord described it as a ‘private one room garden home’ with an en-suite, WiFi and ‘including all bills.’
Images from inside the tiny property have shocked house hunters – with the exterior showing it resembles a garden shed.
It appears to be made up of one narrow room, which only has space for a large grey sofa and two TV screens on the opposite wall.
