A home located in Shepherd's Bush, west London measuring only 6 feet wide is currently for sale.
Despite its narrow width, it boasts 1,034 square feet of space with two bedrooms, a landscaped garden, and a roof terrace.
Fashion photographer Juergen Teller bought the property, which used to be a hat store, in the 1990s and converted it into a home.
"It's quirky and charming and great for entertaining," Winkworth realtor David Myers told Insider.
The house is on the market for $1.3 million (£950,000).

A London property measuring just 6 feet wide that's been described by its realtor as "possibly London's thinnest home" is currently for sale for $1.3 million (£950,000).

The house is located in Shepherd's Bush, west London, and used to be a hat store. Fashion photographer Juergen Teller converted the store into a home in the '90s, and "Pride and Prejudice" actor Simon Woods later lived in the home between 2006 and 2008.

The property was renovated by Teller to maximize space and despite its narrow width, boasts a generous 1,034 square feet over five floors. There are two bedrooms, a study, a bathroom with closet space, a roof terrace, and a landscaped garden.

Its current owner bought the home in 2009 for $812,993 (£525,000) and is now selling to move overseas.

Here's what London's "thinnest" home looks like on the inside.
