I wonder do they repeatedly list it for sale in order to get rid of tenants?

These days if you had a mortgage as a single person even for a shed/cabin/lane-way, you could be quite the catch :pac:

I'm not quite sure on the difference between a shed and a cabin but I stand by asking if this is legal and at over 200 a week it'd a valid question.

Its a lot better than some of the dumps posted in this thread for similar money

There's no room for mistakes if you sit up in bed in that cabin, solid wood beams aren't really kind to the cranium!

Gregor Samsa

That "cabin" seems to be in the grounds of a self-catering holiday rental property (Season Park House), so there could well be some kind of PP for habitation. Although I don't know if there's different PP needed for holiday letting and more long-term tenant habitation.

Season Park House website: https://seasonsparkhouse.business.site/

Neither of these mention the cabin, though.

I have no idea if they have pp for it. I'm sure someone on here can do the investigation. :pac:

The difference between e shed and a cabin is quite simple : you can inhabit a cabin, a shed is for garden tools and the like.

Come on, people ! It's not a shed, it is a cabin. And a nicely fitted out cabin to boot, but maybe not at that price.

I'm pretty sure that you need planning permission to build any kind of full-time habitable structure in your garden i.e. something that someone is actually going to live in rather than just a garden shed, sun room, play room, garden office etc. I'm also fairly confident that they a) didn't apply for it and b) if they did they wouldn't get it if theydid.

It's either under the stairs or in the shed at the back on the other side of the steeplechase.

I wondered the same thing. In the description it says ... 'bathroom and master bedroom on mezzanine.'

But where

and why is there no photo of it, hmm.

No, I think the stairs has a wall between it and the front of the house.

You can also see what looks like another set of bunk beds in the first picture, through the front window.

That's not the hall, that's the sitting room!

Beds in the hallway aside, they've probably done as good a job with the ridiculously small space as can be done.

That house would be great for smurf or a small single person...but its a tiny abode.

The bunk beds in the corridor are not a good look!
Or is that the sitting room....

The whole house is basically a corridor! I think 1.7m wide at its widest? (I went to see it years ago when it was for sale, pre-airbnb so being used as an actual house to live in. It wasn't for me

)

I'd say it keeps getting relisted for sale, but just never actually gets sold. Maybe if they took the three-deep beds out, and neutralised it a bit they might have more success.....

No need to apologise. I wasn't giving out or anything, just pointing out that it keeps getting re-listed. It keeps coming up on this thread for a reason. Although, technically it shouldn't be posted on this thread at all. This thread is for houses and it isn't a house, it's an alley way with a fecking roof on it. :pac:

Harry potter had better accommodation than the people living in that place.

I have counted 25 properties up for sale on that road or off that road in the last 11 years from the Property Register, which I would imagine is a mountainous number. None seem to be for property 19A.

However it has been advertised in the past. Could it be advertised under a different address as any of the other properties have not referred to their properties as being in Portobello but this one does.
