‘unique is an oft over-used word, especially by estate agents. perhaps this over use is why it feels so completely inadequate when it comes to describing this genuinely individual property which, despite its surface oddness is actually very easy to live with,’ reads the listing description. ‘six-foot-wide and arranged over five floors this astonishing house offers flexible accommodation. some worry that they would feel compressed in a six-foot-wide house but counter-intuitively this is a space that works – in much the way a luxury yacht does.’

the narrow house is against powered, has a central heating system controlled by a nest, period parquet flooring, an original deco bath tub, a roof terrace for entertaining guests and double full-height glass doors that lead from the glazed dining area into a recently planted private patio garden. ‘if you like traditional properties that ‘tick all the boxes’ then the chances are this is not for you’ concludes the listing. ‘if, however, you don’t like boxes and you like to entertain, enjoy the quirky and charming and feel there is more to life than two up, two down then come and see a truly special home.’
