Any Bristolians that can't afford a tiny flat, can rent a tiny van instead

That is one of the most tragic things I've ever seen. £225k wow.
Sums up everything that is wrong with this world right there.

Almost a quarter of a million pound to live like Harry Potter!!

Madness and must affect your well being being cooped up like that.

It will sell to someone who wants an alternative to a hotel in the city for 2/3 nights a week who has dinner, etc on expenses, maybe the odd weekend crash out after a night at the theatre, etc.

I understand that but still........ i'd rather stay in a hotel with decent sized rooms.

Having said that, at least there I can stay in bed 10 minutes longer and have a shower and st at the same time so not all bad.

You'd need shares in Windowlene for that one.

Nice, though. Seems like fair value given the location, provenance and WOW factor.

Sure, but hotel rooms are a cost. Some companies allow you to charge in a per diem amount if you stay with friends, etc. So you stick this in your wife's / daughter's name and charge it in. That way the company has contributed towards your asset.

I wouldn't buy it, but hotel rooms are soulless things, I'd rather have half the size and have my space.

Once you get to the point that you think it's reasonable to live like that three nights a week just so it's easy to get to work, then it's already too late for you.

Talk about the tail wagging the dog...

As I said, I wouldn't. Which is why I work from home and can see the Yorkshire Dales out of my window.

I don't think I've ever seen a property where the wall paper and curtains have the same pattern... or black cabinets with red "go faster" handles for that matter.

The room with the fireplace on the narrowest wall actually makes me feel queasy, it's like one of those rooms you used to get at the funfair that messed with your sense of perspective. Like a room with a door at the end of a long corridor that looks normalish but you find the corridor gets narrower and lower and you find the door at the end is actually only 3 feet tall. Weird!

Looking on Google maps there seems to be one of those at the end of each row.

Jesus. Objectively that is insane. But it would probably be similar in Central London I bet. Sydney is as mental I understand.

Loving the artistic attempt at disguising the grubby downstairs/outside toilet by shifting the focus to a weed. hehe
