Tiny London home is narrower than a Tube carriage… but it will still set you back £1million
A London property just seven feet wide has gone on sale with a hefty price tag of £1million
A SLENDER house which is narrower than a Tube carriage has gone on the market in London with an eye-watering price tag of £1million.
At just 7ft 7in wide at the front the three-storey Battersea property it would mean the new owners would struggle getting a sofa inside.
The property, known as the “Slim House,” was originally an access route to stables before being built over and has already become quite famous, having featured in a number of TV property shows, including architect George Clarke’s Amazing Spaces.
London architect Almanac made extensive alterations to the property in 2013, adding an extra room to each floor at a cost of £90,000.
The property now extends to 1,058 sq ft.
It now has two reception rooms on the ground floor with a kitchen breakfast room leading to a 48ft garden.
On the first floor it has two bedrooms, a shower room and a dressing room. There are two further bedrooms and a bathroom on the second floor, with a loft above.
The owner, advertising executive Aimee Luther, paid £837,500 for it in 2014.
She said: “This house has a slice of everything but on a slightly slimmer scale. I have loved living in a fabulous part of SW11 in the heart of a friendly neighbourhood and I’ve no doubt that the next owner will have equal pride in owning this piece of architectural brilliance.”
The narrowest house in London is believed to be a five-storey property in Shepherd’s Bush which is 5ft 5in wide. In 2016 a two-bedroom home in Kensington measuring 7ft 3in wide went on the market for £1.25 million.
Jasper Colliver, head of the Wandsworth branch of agent Savills, which is handling the sale, said: “Its unique proportions make The Slim House a really rare find and one of just a handful in London.”
Savills said that there had been interest in the property already despite it only going on the market a couple of days ago.
