A distinctively lithe home in Central London is on the market for $1.62 million.
At just 7 feet wide, the pale green residence is considered the second skinniest home in London, Jam Press reported.
It still manages to squeeze in two bedrooms and two bathrooms across three floors, despite its diminutive size.
What the home lacks in width, it makes up for with Arts and Crafts-style charm. From a dragon headed-drain pipe to a rare outdoor terrace, this compact home contains a big personality.
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.
