This London property might look thinner than a stick of KitKat - but it's still going for a hefty £775,000. With a savvy layout and stretched out rooms, the quirky pad is hot property. The reception room is the narrowest at 2.23m - which, did you know is thinner than a double decker bus? - while the kitchen and dining room go up to 3.06m.

With an open plan living space, basement storage unit hidden beneath and a stunning garden, it's much more spacious than it appears. 

The property is located on Queen’s Road between Mortlake and Barnes stations. The listing says: "This wonderful home features light and airy split level living space, an unusually wide landscaped garden and a sought after location.

"Further features include exposed brick work, outside storage, refitted shower room, kitchen snug, skylight lanterns, sash windows as well as practical double glazing and gas central heating.

"There is a private front door with stairs immediately up to a raised kitchen/breakfast room with eating area, storage and an open view through to the back reception with stairs leading down to this lounge.

"The lounge is an eclectic space with a high level bookcase accessed via a wheeled library ladder, sitting/tv area, side door to outside and then bi-folding doors onto the garden.

"The first floor offers a landing with storage, a gorgeous shower room with sliding door, front bedroom with exposed brick wall and double glazed sash windows and a rear double bedroom with built in wardrobes."

David McKenna, from Sceon+Berne estate agents, told the Evening Standard: "It’s like going into a boat when you open the front door.

"You walk up some stairs into this cool, open-plan kitchen and there’s a line of sight right through and down to the back garden.

"It’s not going to be everyone’s cup of tea of course. But it’s something a little bit different, particularly for the area that it’s in."
