A studio apartment in the UK that was listed for 750 pounds (Rs 77,187) a month and included its own prison cell has gone viral. An ad on Taylors Estate and Lettings Agents claims that the property is situated in a former police station in Dudley. Following its closure in 2017, the police station was transformed into a series of apartment buildings, with the architect choosing to incorporate a minimum of one holding cell into the design of each unit. Social media users are intrigued by this cell’s unusual properties, and they have come up with inventive uses for it.
The estate agent, however, called it a “fantastic and unusual opportunity” in spite of the laughter.
The flat has all the amenities, including modern flooring and features.
“A fantastic and unusual opportunity to make this ground floor and spacious studio apartment yours just having had a full refurb the property features a Holding Cell in the studio which is large enough for a living/dining and bedroom area,” Taylors wrote on the page where the property is listed.
“The property also has an open plan modern style kitchen, three piece white shower room suite and benefits from having an intercom system with secure entry. Please note the property is offered on an unfurnished basis,” the listing further said.
The reactions on social media were hilarious, with users saying they are “obsessed” with the unusual home.
Obsessed that the old Dudley police station has been converted to studio flats, and for one of the advertised lettings they’ve kept the holding cell as a “feature”. pic.twitter.com/RcIeZdomWg

“Useful for when the kids act up,” said one user. “I know some people who would pay extra for this,” commented another.
“Would make a cute home office space. I’d put trailing/climbing plants in it,” a third user said.
