Tiny 'Wee House' for sale, measuring just 8 feet wide

Former 650-square-foot bookshop renovated with sleek features and added space.

T
his narrow Clerkenwell home, dubbed "The Wee House," is a remarkable example of clever design. Despite its 8-foot width and five-story height, the 650-square-foot property boasts an impressive array of features.

    For $1.02 million, buyers can enjoy a full kitchen, bedroom, dining room, reception room, study, and roof terrace. The kitchen appears spacious thanks to hidden storage, slim doors, and plenty of natural light. A separate dining area seats six, while the study on the top floor is bathed in sunlight from a large skylight.

    The home's redesign transformed its layout, moving the kitchen to the ground floor and converting the basement into a bedroom with an added window. Architect Joe Wright used every inch of space, including a triangular rooftop terrace that provides a breath of fresh air.

    A clever infill extension in the back of the house includes two wet rooms, a library, and a utility room. The builders had to use abseiling equipment to access this tight space, but the result is a functional and stylish addition to the property.

    The price tag reflects not only the sleek upgrades but also the home's prime location in Clerkenwell, which was named London's best place to live last year by the Sunday Times.
