A university student has shocked her social media followers after revealing the dire state of her £7
A university student has shocked her social media followers after revealing the dire state of her £700-a-month room in her rented house.
Ness, a final-year student at Durham University, has now gone viral after posting a video of her dingy bedroom in the basement of the house.
Despite paying a huge amount each month, Ness filmed excessive mould on her windowsill and a tiny street-level window with iron bars, adding that the temperatures are 'baltic'.
She said the window isn't water-tight, meaning water seeps in whenever it rains and adds to the general discomfort of the room.
Posting on TikTok under the name @precarious_sagittarius, Ness filmed a tour of her room, writing: 'pov you're living in a student house trying to make the most of the basement room nobody wanted which you pay over £700 a month for.'

She added in the caption that she has also been dealing with spiders, damp, 'baltic' temperatures and has iron bars on the window, which add to the prison-like feel.
After walking down two flights of stairs, Ness gave her followers a room tour in the clip, which now has more than two million views.
She had made the most of the dingy space by decorating it nicely - but her followers were quick to point out that her tiny window could make it 'illegal' to live in.
They wrote: 'Depending on window size that could be illegal to rent as a room';
''It's giving crypt'; 'Not the medieval prison entrance';
'Nah how is this fire or flood safe, I'd be so anxious';
'what if there's a fire'.
One commenter recognised the room, writing: 'Omg this was my old uni house in 2021! I lived in this room too hahah - it was literally full of mould but only 480pcm then.'

Despite paying a huge amount each month, Ness showed the excessive mould next to a tiny street-level window with iron bars and said the temperatures were 'baltic'
Ness, a final-year student at Durham University, has gone viral after posting her dingy bedroom in the basement of the house
She showed her tiny bedroom window with iron bars at street-level, as some viewers called it 'illegal'
Others were more positive about the room: 'Nah I'd love that. away from everything else and just your own little secret area, I'd live down there';
'You really have made the best of it though it looks so lovely and cosy.'
Ness posted a follow-up video, showing the extent of the mould around her window, which she then struggled to fully open.
As she was filming, passersby had their feet at eye-level and cars drove past only centimetres from her room.
When asked in the comments if it was 'at least warm' she responded 'below freezing'.

Ness had been lumped with the basement room as she was on her year abroad during house viewings and hadn't been able to attend in person.
Though Ness attends Durham University, students rent out rooms privately after first year, meaning the university is not affiliated with the room.
According to construction website BuildSafe.co.uk, windows in basement bedrooms must be at least 60cm high and 50cm wide.
If the opening of the window is less than four per cent of the room's floor area, adequate ventilation must be provided.
