Located on the Goldhawk Road in Shepherd’s Bush, West London, this unique property thought to be the thinnest house in London is up for sale. Standing just six-foot-wide, this quirky home spanning over five floors has a carpet area of 1,034 square feet and comprises two bedrooms, a bathroom, a kitchen, landscaped garden, and a roof terrace.
This house used to be a hat store earlier but fashion photographer Juergen Teller bought it in the 1990s and converted it into a home. There is even an original shop window to date featuring a bowler hat lampshade at the entrance. The house seems to be cramped from the outside; however, the well-planned interior provides a cozy and spacious feeling.
On the outside, this narrow home is painted in a dark shade of blue. The entry is from the ground floor, which includes cabinets and shelves on one side and has a reception room with a fireplace at the end. Just above this is a bedroom and study that can also be converted into an additional bedroom; however, the main bedroom is located on the top floor.
The kitchen is located in the basement and is decked with light colors and mirrors to create a spacious feeling inside. It also includes a dining room that further leads to the landscaped garden. The bathroom is located on the second floor and also has a closet. There are windows on both ends of the property on every floor, allowing abundant natural light to make the slender home look spacious.

The property is listed for about $1.3 million (£950,000) at Winkworth Shepherd’s Bush Estate Agents.
