Tiny 16 Sq M Portishead 'Studio' Listed for £1,100 a Month

Actress Lamorna Watts’s conversion of a former garage has attracted fresh attention after an estate agent marketed it as a furnished studio.

Overview

  • Estate agents Hopewell have advertised The Snug, a furnished 172 sq ft studio in Portishead, for £1,100 per month with bills and council tax included.
  • North Somerset Council granted planning permission in April 2020 for Watts to turn the garage into a habitable space.
  • The compact unit features an open-plan living area, kitchenette, shower room and electric heating in 16 square metres.
  • At a rent just below Bristol’s June average of £1,138 for a one-bedroom flat, the listing underscores local space and affordability pressures.
  • Previously offered for short and medium-term lets after its 2021 completion, The Snug will be available from 3 September.
