A uniquely slender home in Central London has hit the market for $1.62 million.
Measuring just 7 feet wide, the pale green residence is reportedly the city’s second skinniest home, according to Jam Press.
Despite its compact footprint, the three-story property fits two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
What it lacks in width, it compensates for with Arts and Crafts-style character, featuring details like a dragon-headed drainpipe and a rare outdoor terrace.
The London listing, which is held by Unique Property Company, jokes that the Kensington flat was “very much an early adopter” of the tiny home trend. The brick facade was built in 1930 and underwent renovations in the 1950s.
Visitors are immediately greeted with the kitchen and dining area, which the listing claims has a “Tardis-like feel” thanks to high ceilings. The dining area connects to a bathroom and the first of the two bedrooms. Glazed double doors at the rear greet a “sliver of a garden.”
Up the narrow stairs is a cozy drawing room with exposed floorboards, a decorative fireplace and just enough space for a love seat. This floor boasts access to a roof terrace — a rarity in London that adds much-needed breathing room to the home. The listing photos show room enough for an outdoor bench, table and chairs.
While $1.62 million is by no means cheap, home prices for the skinny home’s Peel Street, Holland Park neighbors averaged almost $3 million in 2024, according to the UK property portal Rightmove.
The final floor just barely fits another petite double-bedroom and an ensuite bathroom.
Two other London flats are tied for the city’s skinniest home, both measuring 6 feet in width. One of them, an apartment building, sold a two-bedroom flat in 2023 for just under $1 million.
