One-bed studio flat in Birmingham on market for the price of a second hand car – but it may be a squeeze for new owners

AN APARTMENT costing the same as a second hand car has hit the market - but it may be a bit of a squeeze for the new owner.

The tiny abode in Birmingham boasts an open plan living room and bedroom with a kitchenette - and it can be all yours for a bargain £13,500 plus fees.

The apartment comes complete with a bed for the new owner to rest their weary head at the end of a long day.

While a desk and chair will give the occupant the chance to work from home or study if needs be.

Two double-glazed windows fills the flat with natural light - brightening up the surroundings.

While a large wardrobe with plenty of hanging space completes the living area for the new owner.

Looking to the kitchenette - a two-ring electric hob gives the occupant plenty of cooking options.

While a head-height microwave means easy meals can be slapped up in no time.

A decent-sized fridge will give the owner more than enough space to keep the essentials.

While a sink and plenty of cupboard space complete the kitchenette.

An adjoining shower room is thrown in too - but the minuscule room is rather crowded.

Pictures show the toilet, shower and sink all on top of each other - offering little wiggle room at bath time.

The apartment is located in College House, Bridge Road, Alum Rock in the east of Birmingham.

Despite it lacking in the size department, the property is within walking distance to Adderley Park train station.

And it is currently raking in rent of £455 per calendar month - making it an "ideal investment" for any would-be buyer.

But buyers are being warned by the auctioneers to check out the flat before buying as they have not inspected the property themselves.

The apartment is being auctioned off by SDL Property Auctions on Thursday, March 31, at 10am.
