Outrage as bed in conservatory listed as ‘studio’ to rent for £1,200 per month

Viral outrage over a £1,200/month Manchester “studio” in a conservatory sparks backlash, as social media users criticize the small, glass-roofed space for rent.

Social media users have been left outraged after a property listing went viral for a “studio” – which appears to be a bed and sofa in a conservatory.

With exposed brick walls and a glass roof, the room looks more like a summerhouse than a flat.

With a front door accessed via the main house’s kitchen, the space features a double bed, leather sofa, a desk and chair, and a chest of drawers.

There is, at least, wooden flooring – so hopefully little chance of creepy crawlies getting inside.

Back in the kitchen is a wardrobe, presumably for the new tenant to use, and they are also allowed shared access to the kitchen facilities and a bathroom.

The space is listed for £1,200 a month including bills, and is based near Oxford Road in Manchester, reports Luxury Property News.

There appear to be various rooms available within the property, with the listing noting the one featured is the lowest priced room.

It also suggests the room may be best suited to students/academics, or doctors/hospital staff due to its close proximity to the university and hospital.

The listing, advertised by Open Rent, reads: “The house is also in a leafy conservation area, ensuring both a pleasant and fairly quiet atmosphere in which to live.

“It is in an excellent modern condition.

“Wooden floors are made in Germany.

“Brand new freezer, fridge, washer with drier, microwave with oven.

“Nice rooms and nice housemates.

“Looking for clean, tidy and easy-going housemates.

“No smoker. No bicycle, no pet, no couple, no children, and no party.”

After the listing was shared online, social media users were quick to criticise the space.

One person commented: “Living in a conservatory on the back of a terrace for that much?!? I hate to think how hot it gets in there.”

“This might be the craziest listing I’ve ever seen on here,” another user said.

Someone else called it “hellish”, while another viewer said: “This s**t needs to be illegal.”

Another person joked: “This is healthy outdoor living.”

“And the window blind is on the other side, so you have no control of it? I mean, I know there are many other issues here but no,” commented another user.
