  • Property for sale for around A$1.7M, in west end of London

Built 150 years ago, the former Shepherd’s Bush hat shop in Goldhawk Road is a mere 6 foot wide. That’s less than two metres or an average man’s height, sideways.

Converted into a five-floor residential property in the 1990s, the house is on the market for just under a million pounds, or A$1.7 million.

What will a million quid get you? Two bedrooms, one bathroom and a roof terrace, that’s what. And a private patio garden.

Total area is 96 square metres, across five levels, so there’s not much on each floor. The selling agency, Winkworth, describes it as “quite probably the thinnest house in England.”
