Tiny London Flat Formerly a Caretaker's Cupboard Goes on Sale
A 96 square foot Kensington flat, once used to store cleaning supplies, hits the market for an eye-watering £230,000.
A tiny flat, once a caretaker's cupboard, has hit the London property market with a jaw-dropping price tag.
Despite measuring just 96 square feet, and narrowing to only 2.4 feet in some spots, the compact space is listed for an astonishing £230,000.
Originally used to store cleaning supplies, the flat is tucked inside a Grade II-listed building dating back to 1871, located on Queen's Gate in Kensington. It sits among seven other apartments and is just a short walk from iconic landmarks like the Natural History Museum and the V&A.
Though it is one of the smallest homes in the UK, the cleverly designed layout still fits a sofa, chest of drawers, table, TV and a compact kitchen. The sleeping area sits on a mezzanine level, measuring just 1.5m by 3m, while the shower room is a snug 1m by 0.5m.
A single window offers scenic views of the surrounding area, and an entry system allows the owner to easily manage guests. The property was originally purchased for £80,000 over two decades ago and has since more than tripled in value.
