A government employee in Indonesia has a house that has no way in or out, due to it being surrounded on all sides by a hospital wall and other housing.

In video filmed in Bukittinggi, West Sumatra on September 20, a residential house is seen blocked by a wall two-metres-tall on its front, right and left sides, while being blocked from behind by another house.

Entrance and exit are only possible by ladders on both sides of the fence that cross over a barbed wire fence.

This predicament has made travel difficult for the owner, who has now leased the building as a boarding house.

Boni, a 26-year-old living there with three friends, pays 300,000 Indonesian rupees a month, at a much cheaper rate than other locals.

According to Boni, although every day he has to go up and down the stairs across the barbed wire fence, they chose boarding in this house as it is close to the hospital where he works as a cleaner.

"I am a young man. There is no issue. Moreover, the price of renting a room is twice as cheap as other houses around here," he said.
