A derelict Victorian home in north London has been transformed into 14 micro-flats, with each one smaller than a Travelodge hotel room.

The serviced apartments in West Hampstead measure up to 18sq-metres each and include double beds, marble-tiled bathrooms and compact kitchens.

Designed by Laura Encinas of Bicbloc, the flats will be available to rent for £1,200 - £1,400 from June 14 onwards.

Raj Deb, CEO of Seed Property Consultants, who acquired the four-storey property in June 2016, said: “We were looking to create something for the West Hampstead market.

“We picked up this property, a derelict bedsit with 11 bedrooms, and created 14 beautiful units.

“They are cool looking flats, a really cool place to live, with a beautiful looking bed, kitchen, a really nice bathroom and shower.”

He added: “You will not find anything in this area for less than £1,500 upwards per month.”

The flats, which are located three minutes from West Hampstead station, are also available on short term deals including one and two weeks.

“You can come here for short term work, a vacation. A nice posh hotel down the road costs £250 plus VAT,” said Mr Deb.

“It’s not just about profit, it’s about doing something that everyone can benefit from, especially from a tenant perspective.”
