A TINY studio flat gives new meaning to the phrase, “if you want breakfast in bed, sleep in the kitchen”.
The flat advertised on Rightmove for £750 pcm has sent house hunters into a frenzy over peculiar set-up.
The advert said it was: “The perfect property for a professional individual looking to live in a vibrant area.”
The apartment is in Salford, Greater Manchester, where most other studio flats go for more than £1000pcm.
But there is one catch – what the online listing called an “open-plan living room” is in fact a bed in the middle of the kitchen.
The description does not mention the odd sleeping arrangement, only that “the modern kitchen is equipped with a range of appliances”.
The listing said: “This outstanding property boasts a prime location, stylish furnishings and all the necessary conveniences for modern living.”
Online house-hunters have been left confused by the nature of the “modern kitchen”.
One user joked that the apartment would be well-suited to breakfast in bed and wrote: “I thought it must be London at first. Brings a whole new meaning to ‘breakfast in bed'”.
Another wrote: “My horse has a bigger stable than this, the rent is utter lunacy.”
Others users were concerned noise from the fridge freezer may lead to a disturbed sleep for the tenant.
“A lovely peaceful night’s sleep being serenaded by the Arctic wind impressions by the fridge/freezer,” said one post.
Another comment suggested the tenant would be able to perform all their household chores from the comfort of their own bed.
They said: “Love the description, as you enter the flat you will discover an open plan living space.
“What you mean is as you open your door you are greeted by a 6ft x 6ft room where you can do the washing, cooking and cleaning up all from the comfort of your bed.
“And the best part is there’s so little floor space you’ll only need a dust buster to hoover the carpet.”
If the renter desires more open space, the studio is “surrounded by nearby parks”.
The estate agents, Happy Homes UK Ltd., said: “Don’t miss our on the opportunity to make this studio your ideal home.”
East Manchester letting agents Happy Homes have been contacted for comment.
This small but mighty home in east London is also ideal for those looking for a cosy option.
THE Simpsons are heading back to the big screen nearly two decades after their first movie hit cinemas.
A brand-new film based on the long-running Fox animated series is scheduled to be released in July 2027.
It will be the first Simpsons feature since the 2007 movie, which came after more than 400 episodes of the series.
The news was confirmed by 20th Century Studios on Instagram, with a picture of Homer Simpson clutching a pink sprinkle donut in the shape of the number 2.
The caption teased: “Homer’s coming back for seconds.”
The 2007 movie received mixed reviews from critics but was embraced by fans, who had followed the show for more than 20 years by that point.
Speaking to Variety earlier this year, showrunner Matt Selman credited streaming platforms with keeping the series alive for new generations.
He said: “The streaming platforms have helped the series remain popular.
“Now instead of the kids watching it on local TV in the afternoon, they can just watch it all, all the time, all day, all forever.”
No details of the new film’s plot have been revealed, but excitement is already building as Springfield prepares for its return to cinemas in 2027.
Fans quickly reacted to the announcement on Twitter/X, as one user wrote: “Bart kept his promise… The new ‘SIMPSONS’ movie is slated for July 23, 2027, filling the date vacated by a Marvel Studios movie.
“The second Simpsons movie is Disney’s second animated feature aimed at older audiences.”
Another fan pointed out the timing of the release, referencing Bart’s classic chalkboard gag: “They kept their promise and did not wait 20 years to make a sequel. They took 19 years and 363 days.”
