Story from Jam Press (Pink Studio Builders) Pictured: Inside the studio flat. Bizarre studio flat with bunk beds for up to TEN builders to live in leaves home hunters baffled A bizarre studio flat full of pink bunk beds for up to TEN builders to live in has left home hunters baffled. The seafront pad is listed as only having one bedroom. There is also just one bathroom for them to share. But it costs an eye-watering ??1,295 a month to rent. The??flat, in Brighton, is dubbed as ???perfect??? for ???builders??? or ???students.??? Decorated with garish pink rose wallpaper, rainbows, pastelle bed coverings and fake ivy the property offers immediate move in. Potential tenants are allowed to move in to the property, equipped bizarrely with astroturf flooring, the day of viewing. The private landlord offers guaranteed acceptance to desperate house hunters with no credit check and a low deposit. Describing the property as perfect for ???builders, contractors, students and big families relocating??? the landlord charges a ??35 fee for same day move-ins. House hunters would be forced to share the small space with up to nine other tenants with only one bathroom between them all. The property boasts four bunk beds which renters would presumably be expected to share with other tenants. They would also be expected to share the single bathroom and a miniature kitchenette. The cramped space leaves little room for manoeuvring with the bunk beds, sofa and TV taking up any excess space. The landlord's listing on OpenRent reads: ???Themed extra large studio room with kitchenette, private bathroom, microwave, hob, 10 separate beds. ???Maximum tenants 10.??? ???Perfect for builders, contractors, students, large groups and big families relocating.??? Potential renters were left baffled by it, as reported by??Luxury Property News. One said: ???All these builders love pink beds and rainbows. ???I imagine if they did stay there it would be the source of a monumental p*ss
