Breathe in! London's skinniest home at just 99 inches wide on sale for ?450,000... built on space that was once someone's side garden

One-bedroom house in Denmark Hill, SE London, is a 466 sq ft two-storey home at end of three-storey terrace

Estate agents Foxtons say the property's location is excellent for commuters wanting a 'perfect pied-?-terre'

Narrowest property in Britain is a terraced home on Isle of Cumbrae in Scotland which has a 37in front fa?ad

Great. You could mow the lawn in two passes

I think it looks quite nice. And nothing is a surprise when it comes to prices anymore.

There's a two bedroom house in a Hindmans Rd that can be much wider and went for about ?400k a year ago.

There's a tiny narrow little house in Herne Hill, isn't there, on the opposite side of the road from the Half Moon?

Or is that just a shop?

Or have I imagined it altogether?!

[Hawley]

Think you're referring to Artemidorus, Sue. I walk past it every day, it's some sort of gallery/craft shop. And yes, it's thin!

There's a narrow one down near Peckham Rye station. Opposite Bar Story. Ended up in there one evening and it was great. It's about the width of a mini (parked out front)

Couple on Friern Road too I think. And isn't there one you can see from the platform at P Rye station which is the width of a Mini?

*coughs*

Skinny of South Kensington would get my vote!. Probably more than grove lane too.

I think it looks nice. A much nicer road than Friern Rd or Hindmans Rd. And if you knock out the chimney breast it will feel a bit more spacious... nice long garden too.

Does look nice, theres a very similar one on Woodvale, just as you pass Hornimans, after the council flats. If you blinked, you would miss it. Quite a contrast to all the large houses on the vale.

Hindmans Rd may not be the most attractive road but the skinny house is beautiful inside - much lighter and airy, architecture designed with a number of sky lights/roof lights and a pretty garden. I saw it a few years ago when previous owners were converting. Good example of what you can do with a small space.

Well skinny aside, clearly people are buying them and at those prices too...crazy, but that's London for you!
