HOUSE-BROWSERS have been left baffled by the eye-watering £310,000 price tag on a one-bedroom house – that is only 7ft-wide.
The narrow converted hay store in Bristol measures just under 7ft in width and 33ft in length.
Split across two floors, the entire property totals 531 sq ft and is sandwiched in between two other larger properties.
The unique home includes a hand-built kitchen with integrated appliances and a shower room downstairs.
It also features a cosy living, dining area and a raised sleeping platform and bath upstairs.
Solid oak is featured throughout whilst a cast iron burner is located in the kitchen to keep the home cosy during the colder months.
A stable door overlooks the neighbourhood, whilst a glass panel is also shown above the kitchen area so anyone upstairs can look beneath.
Estate agents Elephant listed the property on the market earlier this month for offers in excess of £310,000.
They said: “We have the pleasure of marketing for the third time this unique and inspiring mews house set in the heart of Montpelier.
“This former haystore located just off Picton Street is a prime example of how creativity and canny design can transform a small space into something special.
“Having been well loved by its current owner, the house has a kitchen with integrated appliances and a shower room downstairs, with a living and dining area, raised sleeping platform and feature bath upstairs.”
The quaint home has got social media users talking – with many commenting about the price tag attached.
One said: “It feels like a narrow boat, without the scenery or quirkiness of living on a boat, yet with the price tag of a house. I live in the South East and even I’m shocked by the asking price.”
Another wrote: “A friend of mine picked up a two-bed flat in Montpelier for £350,000 and it is five times the size of this. The price is madness even for Bristol”.
A third commented: “It’s worth it, it’s got a ‘feature’ bath”.
A fourth added: “I like it, actually. You’d need to be very able-bodied and very rich, though.
“You’d also need to be tidy- you’d need a bungalow out the back to put your stuff in.”
