Double room and no mod cons! Householder offers bed-in-a-shed for £450pm (and there's no electricity or plumbing)

Greg Farkas, 34, said he had more than 20 inquiries about renting it
Hungarian lorry driver bought shed in his back garden for £800
He pulls advert after realising he needs planning permission to rent 'room'

By Rob Cooper

A landlord tried to rent out an 8ft by 8ft garden shed for £450-per-month as a 'double room in a garden house'.

Homeowner Greg Farkas was forced to withdraw the advert after realising it fell foul of planning laws - despite a flood of interest from prospective tenants.

The shed on the outskirts of Oxford would have had no electricity or plumbing but tenants would have been permitted to use the kitchen, bathroom and washing machine in the main semi-detached house.
