Amazing London flat could be yours for £1,200-a-month… and it includes a very cool surprise

A STUDIO flat in London has created waves with a very cool surprise.

The Brixton property, on the rental market for just £1200 per month, includes its own outdoor pool in the back garden.

The flat is listed as a "charming studio" and is one of a number forming a gated development of a beautiful Tudor-style house.

The stunning 25m pool comes complete with an art deco fountain at one end.

The perfect perk for cooling off during the ongoing heatwave, potential residents will, however, have to share as the pool is communal to the development.

There is also a communal terrace where residents can host friends and enjoy the sun.

Inside the flat, a small hallway gives way to an open-plan space.

While the galley kitchen is not as big as some may wish for, it is equipped with a lovely old-fashioned sink and ample cupboard space.

The living area/bedroom features a small four-poster bed and a good-sized desk set on wooden floors.

The real gem of the interior, though, is the bathroom.

Designed in a 1930s style, the beautiful WC is an impressive size relative to the flat and features an original roll-top bath.

The studio's back doors open onto the terrace, flush with flowers and featuring the gorgeous fountain.

The listing says the property is best suited to young professionals and that one month's rent is required as a deposit.

However, the cost is easily balanced by the inclusion of heating and water bills as well as, of course, the fabulous pool in the garden.
