Despite being just 7ft wide, the property packs in more than many much larger homes
A tiny home that is reportedly London’s second narrowest has hit the market. And it’s up for sale for an eye-watering price despite its size.
The residence has been listed for an eye-popping £1.2 million. Measuring a mere seven feet across, the compact dwelling stands out conspicuously on Peel Street in Kensington.
Yet appearances can be misleading – and within, the homeowners have ingeniously fitted two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen diner and reception room, plus its own private terrace. Despite its modest proportions, it demonstrates that location truly matters – with its desirable Notting Hill Gate setting adding considerable worth.
Intelligently arranged across three storeys, the house dates back to 1930 and underwent renovation in the 1950s. The present occupant, who has owned the property for a decade, has meticulously planned the layout to maximise every available inch.
The entrance leads into the “Tardis-like” open plan kitchen and dining area, which are remarkably roomy, allowing space for entertaining – provided your visitors don’t object to rather intimate surroundings. The ground floor also features a shower room and WC, along with one of the two bedrooms, according to creatorzine.com.
Ascending the stairs reveals a first-floor reception room, barely sufficient for a sofa and armchair, though largely taken up by the fireplace. However, any sense of confinement is relieved – the space extends onto a decked rear terrace with sufficient room for outdoor dining. On the second floor, you’ll discover a top floor suite featuring stylish front-facing slash windows alongside an en suite bathroom.
Should you fancy venturing beyond the property, both Kensington Gardens and Holland Park are within easy walking distance – not to mention the vibrant city centre beyond. The property is presently available through Unique Property Company, with an asking price of £1,195,000.
