An iconic London red bus has been turned into a "beautiful" two-bedroom apartment - and it could be yours for less than £50k.
Dan Atkins, 45, founded Buses4Homeless in 2020 after he discovered that one of his friends had become homeless and was sleeping in a coach's luggage compartment.
He wanted to help those in similar situations and so started transforming a selection of London's iconic red double-deckers into homeless shelters which provide spaces to sleep, cook, eat, relax, and search for jobs.
Now though, Mr Atkins, a father-of-one from Sunbury-on-Thames, has taken on a new challenge - and has converted a double-decker into a two-bedroom family home.
The 1998 diesel bus features a master bedroom, a kids' bunkbed room, a designer kitchen, a luxury bathroom, and a stylish living area.
It also boasts a 32 inch smart TV, a breakfast bar, and an engine bay converted into a large, lit storage space.
Mr Atkins says he reckons it's "one of the most beautiful buses that has ever been renovated" and as a result is selling it for just shy of £50,000.
All the money will go towards his charity - so he can help more people escape homelessness.
Mr Atkins says the engine has been professionally removed, making this a fully static build – ideal for permanent placement in a holiday park, private land, or glamping site.
He believes it could be a unique family retreat, a stylish home office setup - or even the ultimate Airbnb.
The converted bus is currently on sale on eBay for £49,995. You can view the listing here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/226713620270?itmmeta=01JT0PKTQMSJP54FKZGRX6ARQC&hash=item34c92f4f2e:g:uf4AAOSwz0RoCecn
