WINKWORTH
The tall, slim dark blue building is considered the UK’s slimmest house, but it has five floors, two bedrooms and a rooftop terrace. And it is for sale for $ 1,824 million.
The footprint of this house in Shepherd’s Bush, London is very small, but more than makes up for it in height.
Considered the slimmest house in the UK, the two-bedroom house is just 1.8m wide, but is ‘spruced up’ over five floors and has a roof terrace, plus a garden to the rear.
And it is for sale. The property has been listed with Winkworth for £ 950,000 (NZ $ 1,824 million). Squeezed between a private clinic and a hair salon, the 96-square-meter home sits in a vibrant, “sandy” urban location populated by young professionals, hence the asking price.

The house is only 1.8m wide, but it has a lot of character.
The company describes the house like this: “Unique is a word that is overused, especially by real estate agents. Perhaps this overuse is why it feels so completely inadequate when it comes to describing this genuinely individual property that, despite its superficial weirdness, is actually quite easy to live with. “

“Some are concerned that they feel compressed in a six-foot-wide house, but counterintuitively, this is a space that works, the way a luxury yacht does.”
The slim house’s special features include a Nest-controlled central heating system powered by Aga, beautiful parquet floors, an original Art Deco bathtub, and a glass-roofed dining room with glass doors that open to the landscaped patio.

The living room is intimate, but charming.

There is plenty of storage space in the galley kitchen.
Agents know it won’t be for everyone: “If you like traditional ‘check all the boxes’ properties this is most likely not for you. However, if you don’t like boxes and like to entertain, indulge in quirky and charming, and feel like there is more to life than two up, two down, come and see a truly special home. “
And there are some quirky features, including the view into the house to the bathtub and the decorative iron screen in the living room window.
We don’t imagine that this little beauty will stay on the market for long.

The dining room is a more spacious addition, with a glass ceiling and glass doors that open to the rear garden.
