This skinny house in south-west London is just eight feet wide - but has gone on the market for £300,000.

The house, in Twickenham, was originally built as a 'granny annexe' to the normal-sized terraced home next door and has since been converted to a one-bedroom property.

Its mezzanine bedroom is nestled just above the fridge and its narrow living room opens out onto a surprisingly spacious garden.

The property offers 322 square feet of space inside - while its garden is more than 1,500 square feet.

It comes with off street parking and its own private driveway in the affluent Third Cross Road a short walk from the Thames.

Estate agents Jackson-Stops & Staff say the flat has been attracting major interest since going on the market a week ago.

Agent Tom Millington said: "It's 51A, and the bit of land used to be part of 51. Now, that used to be a bit of a granny annexe for next door and then whoever sold it at the time it was separated.

"We've had loads of interest. I've got an enquiry now to go and have a look, and we've had quite a few viewings this week."

He added: "It seems to be quite a popular one. It's not quiet, put it that way."

The estate agency said they now expect to sell the house "very quickly".
