For £450,000 you would probably expect
more than this in a property for your money - but, then again, we are
talking about London.
A one-bedroom house in Denmark Hill, south-east London, is said to be the skinniest home in the capital - measuring just 99in wide.
The 466 sq ft two-storey house at the end of a three-storey terrace was built on a space that was once someone's side garden.
He said that its location is excellent for commuters wanting a ‘perfect pied-à-terre’ because it is right across the road from Denmark Hill train station.
Mr McCann told the London Evening Standard: ‘I expect it was done by a developer who wanted to fit in an extra property at some point.’
He said buyers would have to pay about £400,000 for a one-bedroom flat in the same area, but this property is a freehold and has a 75ft garden.
While the living room is just about big enough to squeeze in a dining table and sofa underneath the stairs, the kitchen at the back is just 5ft 2in across.
Mr McCann said: ‘The space is there, it is just not in a traditional layout. Given its location and the garden, I think it will go pretty quickly.’
The narrowest property in Britain is a terraced home on Great Cumbrae island off the Ayrshire coast in Scotland, which has a 37in front façade.
However the building - known as The Wedge - does spread to 22ft wide as it moves back from the road, which has an average property value of £63,000.
