A house believed to be London’s narrowest is up for sale in Hammersmith .

Described as “a real piece of Victorian London history”, the property in Kilmarsh Road measures just seven feet across at its widest point.

The three-bedroom house is on the market for £855,000 and is a former laundry, according the estate agents selling the home.

The average house price in the road is £975,926, according to property website, Zoopla.

The house comes on the market at the same time as another unique property in Chelsea, believed to be one of London’s smallest homes .

We told you it was narrow!

Simon Triglia, sales manager at the Hammersmith office of Dexters, said: “This property is truly unique; reputed to have been a Victorian laundry house built circa 1855, remarkably the property was originally detached but now forms part of a terrace that was built slightly later.

“The old laundry was fed by a stream that flowed alongside the building and wound its way down to the river Thames – a real piece of Victorian London history.

“Now a private freehold residence in the well-heeled and fashionable Brackenbury Village area, this quirky house offers great value square footage set over four floors in a delightfully quiet but prime West London location.”

Owner Carsten Freisberg said the house is fully renovated, and despite its size, has plenty of rooms and outdoor spaces.

He said: “​I have lived ​in​ the property for thirteen years and ​it’s a shame to be leaving what has been a ​wonderful home in a peaceful and friendly neighbourhood.​

“Despite the unusual dimensions of the house, it ​actually offers great square footage overall; it has eight separate rooms along with three lovely outdoor spaces.

"This enabled me to get on the housing ladder thirteen years ago​,​ as the same square footage in a flat or​ a​ more conventional house were going for a lot more money at the time.”
