Slice of life: would you rent one of the narrowest houses in the UK?
One of the UK's skinniest rental properties, 110 Goldhawk Road, is wedged between a walk-in clinic and a beauty salon — the five-storey west London home stands tall but is barely wider than its windows. Call it Ozempic House. However, at £2,950 a month, the cost for potential tenants is anything but skinny.
When I walk through the front door into the narrow hallway, it's hard to believe that I've already seen the full width of the home. I don't feel an instant sense of claustrophobia — stretching my arms from wall to wall, there are a couple of inches to spare on each side. But as I'm 5ft 1in, alas, I may not be the best person to measure the proportions of a home.
