Low fat house

Skinniest house in Britain up for sale at £550,000 At just 66 inches wide, this house has been dubbed the `skinniest home in Britain', but its price is anything but small at more than half a million pounds. Estate agents are using the property's unusual size as its selling point, and have put it on the market at £549,950. The house on Goldhawk Road in Shepherd's Bush, west London, has five levels -a lower ground, ground, first, second and third floor, with 1,000 sq ft of space. It looks set to record a good price as a shortage of stock across London and low interest rates continue to drive prices up. The advertised price is £61,450 more than what it was sold for three years ago.
