Thinnest House in Britain for Sale for Just Under £1m

skinniest house in Britain?
The "Thinnest House in Britain" is on the Goldhawk Rd, and is yours for just under £1m.

According to an article in the Daily Telegraph a few years back, the house is just 66 inches wide, and was last sold in 2009 for around £500,000.

Needless to say Faron Sutaria, the estate agents who sold it, said that its small size "adds to its charm".

The house on the Goldhawk Road apparently used to be a hatshop, and there is a nod to this ancestry in the form of the hat still hanging in what used to be the shop window.

The owners also feature a whimsical little window display, which changes regularly.  A few years ago it included a little Christmas lego scene.

The house is easy to miss (being small), but next time you're strolling down the Goldhawk road, check it out - especially the window displays.

According to local agent Simon Waller, from Winkworth Estate Agents, the house is "terribly bohemian. You could get lost in the different worlds over the five floors. Each owner has sprinkled their own fairy dust on it. The current owner likens it to a classic car - she's tinkering with it constantly."
