The seafront flat, located on Marine Parade in Brighton, is on the market for £130,000.
Measuring just 161square foot (15 square metres) in total, the flat is below the nationally described minimum space standard of 37 square metres (approx. 398 square feet) for a new-build one-person studio flat.
The minimum size requirements for new construction studio flats (one person, one bedroom) is 37 square metres if it has a shower room, or 39 square metres with a bathroom.
Dwellings below these standards are often referred to as “micro-dwellings” or “pocket homes” and are generally found in older converted buildings.
The flat consists of one room with an open plan bedroom, kitchen and dining/living room space and a “compact” bathroom.
Agents Jacobs Steel describe the flat as offering a “cosy and functional living space” which is an “ideal bolt hole or investment”.
“The main living / sleeping area is bright and airy, featuring a bay window that floods the room with natural light,” the agents say. “The flat also benefits from the most gorgeous sea views.”
The kitchen is described as having “everything needed for a nice home cooked meal”.
“The original features throughout the flat add character and charm, making it feel like a true home. Whether you’re looking for a stylish home or a busy professional seeking a convenient city pad, this studio flat has a lot to offer.”
The listing has caused a stir on social media, with people criticising the size of the flat.
On Reddit, one user said “£130,000 for 15sqm is just madness.”
“That’s not a flat, it’s a bay window”, another said.
