Former public toilet in upmarket town turned into £135k one-bed cottage

The lucky owner of this des res will surely be flushed with success - the property is a former public lavatory converted into a quirky cottage.

And to give you something to go on it’s on the market for just £135,000.

The bargain basement former convenience in well-heeled Tunbridge Wells, Kent, has been converted into a unique, one-bed property. It has also served as a breakfast café and been listed on Airbnb.

The bijou home, named Draper Cottage, is described as "deceptively spacious" with a double bed on a raised mezzanine platform, living area kitchen and bathroom.

And the former loo is also handily located next door to a pub.

Flying Fish, the estate agents selling the property, describe it as offering "the best of both worlds" in a listing on its website.

They say: "This truly unique cottage sits on a residential street opposite a large park with local shops, restaurants, pubs and excellent transport links a stone's throw away.

"With open farmland and woodland walks on its doorstep and easy access into the historic Tunbridge Wells town centre, its location offers the best of both worlds.

"Draper Cottage is an immaculate deceptively spacious detached character residence, with raised mezzanine sleeping accommodation, a spacious living area, a well-equipped kitchen and a modern shower cubicle with separate cloakroom.

"It is perfect for short getaways and benefits from free parking in the park opposite. A must-see!"
