Photographs of the small flat accompany the advert with the description: “Very well presented secure studio, double glazed, nice bamboo flooring, great for single Asian female.”

Property agency Martin Brookes blamed the mistake on a trainee of the company and have since removed the description.

A spokesman told the Mirror Online: “I suspect this must be an error by a new member of staff who was receiving training.

“It's not right, it shouldn't say anything like that about Asians. Nothing like that should be on there and it will be getting removed immediately.”

A new description on Rightmove now reads: “Martin Brookes are pleased to offer this neat fully furnished converted studio flat, situated to the rear of main house on the first floor, this studio complete with shower neat kitchenette.

“Very well presented secure studio, double glazed, nice bamboo flooring, great for single person. Opposite woodpecker hall school, 10 minutes walking to Edmonton Green shopping centre, bus garage and rail station.”

It is unknown who placed the advert.
