The madness that is the London property mental market has struck once again – with a tiny terraced house barely wider than a king-size bed on sale for £225,000.
Measuring just over two metres (2.21m at its widest) and with a total floor space of 38m, this terraced house is being pitched as an ideal home for a first-time buyer or would-be landlord – with an estimated rental income of £1,200 per calendar month.
However, to put this small home into context, let’s compare it to some other objects of the same size.
A standard UK king-sized bed, for instance, measures 150cm in width and 200cm in length.

An average wine bottle is around 30cm from top to bottom – meaning you could fit around six and a half of them across the floor.
Meanwhile, a standard UK door is around 198cm.
The home, located in Angus Gardens, Colindale, northwest London, has a bedroom, bathroom and living area.
The listing notes that it also features its own entrance despite being attached to another normal-sized property and outbuilding.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t come complete with its own driveway but on-street parking is available.
“Oyster Properties are delighted to offer this freehold one-bedroom terraced house located within a short walk to Colindale and Burnt Oak Stations,” the listing reads.
“Set over two floors, the property offers spacious reception, fully fitted kitchen, family bathroom and double bedroom.
“This property is close to Colindale’s multiple shopping facilities as well as outstanding schools such as Goldbeaters and Barnfield Primary Schools.”
The average terraced house in the area costs £496,254.
So, as long as you don’t mind a seriously tight squeeze, there’s an argument to be made that this could be a bargain.
But make sure to really check the measurements on furniture before you start decorating your teeny space.
