Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

One of London’s narrowest houses is being put up for sale with a price tag of £235,000.

The terraced home in Haringay north London is just 83 inches wide and has a reception room, kitchen and bathroom on the ground floor and two bedrooms upstairs. There is also a loft.

The house was built in 1996 in a driveway between the neighbouring homes and had been rented out until a property developer bought it three months ago.

The owner said: “My friends said I was mad to buy it. But I knew I had to. I’m confident there are quirky people who will want to buy it — as it’s cheaper than many one-bedroom homes in this area.”

The owner added: “You can get £1,300 rent from a place like this. If I don’t sell it I’ll hang on to it.”

The house is to be auctioned by Camden based agents McHugh at the BAFTA headquarters on Piccadilly on October 1.

The narrowest house in London is believed to be a property on Goldhawk Road, Shepherds Bush, which is just 65 inches wide at its thinnest point. It last sold for £488,500 in 2006 but is now estimated to be worth around £950.000.

The narrowest house in Britain is in Millport on the island of Great Cumbrae of the North Ayrshire coast which is just 47 inches wide.

If it was built in 96, they were clever with the Victorian lintel detail, know one would notice, must have got retrospective planning.

Interesting to see the expression on the builders face, when they quoted on the loft, but how do you know the neighbours haven't converted each side in to a block of 6 flats? The rental expectation is heinous. This dwelling should be ancillary to the adjoining dwelling, in my view.

It's now in daily mail....with loads of comments!

It's £250,000 now...

Going to auction by the look of it...
