Is this tiny house the most ridiculously expensive property in London yet?

This 'skinny house' measures just 10-ft wide

Is this tiny house the most ridiculously expensive property in London yet?
09 February 2016

Want the skinny on the latest proof that London’s property market is bonkers?

Cast your gaze over this 10ft-wide house, now on the market for £800,000 in leafy South London.

Nestled between two larger and - let’s face it - proper houses on Barry Road in trendy East Dulwich, the ‘skinny home’ barely extends beyond 120-inches throughout the two floors, yet manages to cajole in two floors, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, gallery-style kitchen, living room and back garden - ‘private rear garden’ in estate agent speak.

It also comes with some off-street parking, which these days tends to be quite the coup itself. Particularly in such a popular area as Dulwich.

According to Evening Standard’s Homes & Property, prices in the area have skyrocketed by 53 per cent in the last three years alone, partly thanks to good schools and impressive transport links including a nine minute train journey to Victoria and 22 minute train to King’s Cross.

Though working out to over £1,000 per square foot, any prospective owners might be worth advising to think about moving up to Manchester, where for the same price you could buy a sprawling castle and be next door neighbours with Alex Ferguson. Probably.
