'Is someone still in that bed!?' Puzzling photo in listing for London flat

A listing for a two-bedroom flat has captured attention, but not for the right reasons.

Advertised by Dexters Estate Agents and for sale on the UK’s Rightmove, the listing for the property in the upmarket suburb of Maida Vale in London featured a baffling photo of one of the bedrooms.

However, the agent was quick to remove the puzzling image after a house hunter noticed someone was “still sleeping“ in the bed and posted the listing picture on social media.

“Just browsing properties for sale and… is someone still in that bed!?” the eagle-eyed Twitter user shared, alongside the now deleted photo.

Agents for the flat, which is on offer for £500,000 ($884,397), used a photo of what appeared to be someone snoozing under the covers.

It’s unclear whether there was a person asleep in the bed during the advertising campaign shoot, or whether the doona covered mounds of clothing, but nevertheless, the photo was swiftly deleted once it went viral.

The agent has kept the remaining photos of the property online, which include the kitchen, lounge room, second bedroom, bathroom and private rear garden.

The property is available as a leasehold, meaning the buyer owns the property for a fixed period of time.

Interiors are dated with beige patterned wallpaper and retro tiling in the kitchen and bathroom.
