At 7-feet-wide, house up for auction in London isn't exactly a bargain

Feeling cramped for space?

This house is sure to make you feel better about your current digs.

A two-bedroom home for sale in North London, listed at a guide price of £235,000 (about $417,000 CAD), measures just 84 inches wide.

A Hummer is wider than that, the Mirror pointed out. 

The two-storey freehold home, which appears to have been built on what was once a driveway between two conventional-width homes, does feature a (narrow) rooftop terrace if you need to escape its narrow walls. (In the living room, guests have to sit under the stairs.)

At least it has a washroom, something this other super-narrow home had no room for. 

The house goes up for auction on October 1 and is expected to go for over the guide price.

"I think it will appeal to owner-occupiers or perhaps an investor," James McHugh of estate agent McHugh & Co, who is handling the sale, told the Guardian.

McHugh believes that a landlord could charge non-claustrophobic tenants £1,300 ($2,300 CAD) a month for the property.

In 2009, an even narrower home in an historic West London neighbourhood sold for a whopping £549,950 ($977,425 CAD).

The 6-foot-wide, five-floor property managed to squeeze in two reception rooms, a dining room, “an extremely narrow kitchen in the basement,” a bathroom, shower room, two bedrooms and a study.

We’re assuming only one person could hang out in a room at a time.
