A one-bedroom flat with a bizarrely located toilet - which tenants have to climb a flight of stairs in their own bathroom to use - has sold for more than £300,000.

The oddly-shaped home in trendy Stoke Newington was snapped up for £306,000 ahead of auction after being assigned a guide price of £275,000.

It includes an open-plan kitchen and reception room, a bedroom and the rather unusual bathroom.

Fashionable area: the property on Stoke Newington Common

Auction House London, which sold the lower ground floor flat, described it as "within easy reach" of Stoke Newington Common and Stoke Newington station.

Andrew Binstock, the company's director and auctioneer, told the Guardian: “It falls into the middle of the Venn diagram that London investors look for – under £500,000 and in a sought after location.

“There is an insatiable appetite for this type of stock at present and we could sell flats like this several times over.”

The property above the basement flat, a three-bedroom flat, recently sold for £625,000.
