A “beautiful” west London flat where the bed is in touching distance of the kitchen is available to rent for over £1,000 a month.

Any future tenants will have to share a bathroom with a stranger and buy their own furniture at the Notting Hill flat, MyLondon reports.

The studio flat advertised on OpenRent is available without bills for £1,083 a month in London’s priciest borough – Kensington and Chelsea.

The average studio in Notting Hill costs £1,300 to rent and £300,000 to buy, according to estate agents Foxtons.

There is a small kitchenette in the corner of the room with cupboards and a sink – but no oven, hobs or microwave.

An advert for the property on OpenRent says it can be shared by two people. It’s also open to students, families, smokers and pets. Pictures of the flat show a bed frame inside.

The flat is located inside a mansion building in Pembridge Villas – less than a ten-minute walk from Notting Hill Gate and Bayswater tube stations.

The advert says it is “located in a beautiful period house”. It adds: “The room comes fully unfurnished with shared bathroom and shared amenities. The accommodation is ideal for a single person that loves Notting Hill.”

The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea is home to some of the UK’s most expensive homes and around 3,000 locals are on the waiting list for council housing.

Figures show properties in the borough remain the least affordable in the UK, typically costing 36.5 times average earnings. The Queen’s Gate neighbourhood in the borough -which has one of the starkest wealth gaps in London – has seen a 613 percent increase in Universal Credit claimants since February 2020.

A spokesperson for PricedOut, a group campaigning for more affordable housing in the UK, previously told the Local Democracy Reporting Service rental prices “have spiralled as we’ve failed to build enough homes for everyone who wants one”.

Kensington and Chelsea Council’s deputy leader Kim Taylor-Smith previously said: “It’s more important than ever for everyone – government, councils, housing associations and communities – to work together to increase the supply of affordable housing.”
