Helen Chester said: “Wow. Just wow.”
Ash Whitley said Brits should protest about such pricey properties like the French are over pension changes.
He added: “Is this a joke? £1,000 to rent a shed by the sewage works.
“British folks, can we get a little more French, please?
“They’re taking the p*** out of us.”
Another said: “In my opinion, the housing market is f*****.”
One local quipped: “Goes and measures shed in the back garden.”
The property is being let by Chancellors and advertised on Rightmove.
Tenants will have to fork out a £1,154 deposit too.
The property description reads: “This lovely annex [sic] has been newly refurbished and is based just outside the town centre and only a five-minute walk from the train station.
“Benefitting from parking, private walkway entrance, and offered part furnished with all bills included.”
