    FEATURE - Londons schmalstes Haus mit nur 1.65m Breite wird für fast 1 Millionen Pfund angeboten


    A house in London that is narrower than a double bed is up for sale for just under £1million.

    The narrow pad located on Goldhawk Road in Shepherd’s Bush, West London, has doubled in value since it was last sold in 2009.

    Despite being just 5ft 5in in parts, there are three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, living area, dining room, a bathroom and a shower room, across 1,034 sq ft.

    The former hat shop, which is situated between a pizza restaurant and nail salon, is believed to be the narrowest in the capital.

    It was once owned by fashion photographer Juergen Teller but was sold to its current owner 11 years ago for £595,000.

    The building is now on the market for just under a million, with an asking price of £995,000.

    As you enter the house, the ground floor stretches back with the reception room.

    On the lower ground floor there is a dining room with double height glazed doors which lead to a leafy patio, plus a small kitchen with a dark green AGA and shaker-style cabinets.

    It has been inspired by a luxury yacht to make the most of its small space, so expect functional and practical nooks throughout.

    On the second floor is a dressing room and shower room, while a second bedroom sits on the third floor.

    While the home is narrow, it certainly doesn't lack any style; from the Art Deco bath to the parquet flooring, the interiors feel contemporary and on the whole, pared-back.

    Simon Waller, manager of Winkworth in Shepherds Bush, says: "It's quirky and charming and great for entertaining and will appeal to someone who feels there is more to life than two up, two down.'

    "It started life as a hat shop, was converted by a fashion photographer and it seems fitting that it is launching as London Fashion Week gets under way – the ultimate designer house."

    The property also has it's own garden. While it might not be very large, it will offer the new owners a peaceful respite from the busy city.
