Luxury Mayfair studio with its own bar that costs less per night than nearby Holiday Inn

A studio flat in Mayfair which can be transformed into a cocktail bar has been put on the rental market for £2,700 per month.

The London rental market has seen a number of tiny flats becoming available for people desperate to live on their own.

And now one Mayfair estate agent has got in on the act by offering a luxury studio which is smaller than the bathroom in the typical homes he deals with.

Peter Wetherell, from Wetherell Estates, is listing a pint-sized property designed to be a cosy home which can be transformed into a swanky cocktail bar.

But it is only 323 sq/ft - around a third of the size of a typical one-bedroom flat in the area and smaller than a tube carriage

The flat, at Mount Street, has an entrance hall, studio reception room and bathroom and has been designed to look like a chic West End cocktail bar or night-club.

It is thought to be one of the smallest homes which has ever come onto the market in Mayfair.

The niche interior has coffered ceiling with light features, a cocktail-bar with wall mirrors and LED shelving, a black-metallic paneled, gold edged, drinks bar and bar-stools and Louis Vuitton style dark-wood panelled fitted cupboards.

Doors open from the furnished flat onto an outside cocktail terrace complete with table and chairs.

Behind the cocktail-bar exterior it is claimed the flat has all the features required to convert the space into a cosy home.

Hidden within the bar is a hob, oven, drawers and cupboards for the kitchen while the bar also doubles up as a breakfast and dining area.

The drinks and living area converts into the bedroom, with the sofa opening out into a large double bed.

The property further benefits from lift, large windows, air conditioning and private roof terrace.

The landlord is still charging £625 per week rent for the studio flat.

For the same price, you could get a detached six-bedroom country home in Berkshire.

But it is half the price of a the average rental property in Mayfair and, at £89 per night, it is £100 a night cheaper than a room at the nearby Holiday Inn.

There is unlikely to be a shortage of interest in the studio, which is located opposite the renowned Scott’s restaurant.
