Former broom cupboard in London selling for price of a luxury car
A former caretaker’s broom cupboard in a posh London apartment block is on the market.
The space, which is just 75 centimetres wide in some places, is selling for £230,000 or $470,000.
As a comparison, for the same price you could buy a free-standing home in South Australia or, if you’re so inclined, a luxury car like a Ferrari.
The property is located in Queen’s Gate in the upmarket neighbourhood of Kensington.
“A superb pied-a-terre, cleverly designed to make the most of its small internal space, ideally positioned in the heart of ultra-desirable South Kensington, well known for the ease and access to both the shops, museums, restaurants and transport links,” the listing with Purple Bricks reads.
“This area has justifiably earned itself a reputation as one of the most sought after areas of London to live or invest in, and one can see why.”
The flat is presently furnished with a sofa, chest of drawers, TV, table with the bedroom above the loungeroom in a loft style, The Standard reported.
Like the rest of the home, the bedroom is small, measuring just 1.5 metres by 3 metres.
There’s also a tiny kitchen and shower room and a hallway cupboard for storage.
Owner Nick Minns is confident it won’t take too long for the apartment to find a new owner.
“It’s a short walk to South Kensington tube, which has excellent transport links into and out of central London,” he told the media outlet.
“The property would make a great bolthole for someone who perhaps lives outside London, and just needs somewhere to rest their head for a night or two during the week.”
The property was first listed in November last year with an asking price of £250,000 or $510,000. It has been re-listed with a price drop.
