    A ‘bright and stylish’ Victorian London flat has gone on the market for £500,000 – but horrified house hunters are warning of a terrifying catch.

    The two-bed townhouse in Brockley, South London seems pretty normal at first glance with a modern looking living area and sleek, neutral-toned kitchen.

    But the property caught the attention of online viewers after they noticed what appeared to be a ‘death trap’ in the form of a vast chasm in the middle of the room.

    Disturbing photographs show a gaping hole lies directly opposite the flat’s double bed, with a staircase leading to the floor below also visible.

    Horrified critics noted there seemed to be no railing around the top of the staircase and no glass covering the hole, which they branded a ‘wild’ decision by the seller.

    A user shared the listing online with the caption: ‘Deathtrap stairs to master bedroom. Yikes. How is there no railing around that??’

    Commenters have expressed their concerns about the ‘unsafe’ nature of the property with many questioning why there were no railings around the staircase.

    One user replied: ‘I’d be dead in a week if I lived there. How have they survived? They must bounce.’

    A second said: ‘Screw that, imagine going at it on the edge of the bed and you slip – whole new definition to needing a railing.’ 

    A third wrote: ‘Wow I was expecting bad but not “letterbox to downstairs and you’re the post” bad.’

    Another added: ‘As someone with a knackered ankle and absolutely no balance, those stairs frighten the sh**e out of me.’

    A fifth said: ‘If they want to live with that that’s their mad choice, but to put it up for sale without railing it first is just wild.’

    The controversial flat listed by Conran Estates is advertised on Rightmove as ‘bright and stylish’ accommodation.

    The listing also says the property is on the top two floors of an end of terrace Victorian townhouse that boasts ‘gorgeous’ floorboards.

    Requesting offers ‘in excess of £500,000’, the listing reads: ‘Set to the top two floors of a handsome end of terrace Victorian townhouse, this two-bedroom share of freehold home offers bright and stylish accommodation.

    ‘Gorgeous stripped and polished floorboards are a theme.

    ‘For many, [the road] is the premier address in the [area]. Wide pavements and parades of trees frame these beautifully authentic Victorian townhouses.’
