Broom cupboard flat goes up for sale for over £200k... despite being only 10 metres squared

A 10 metre-squared storage cupboard in Earls Court has been put on the market for more than £200,000.

The second-floor property, dubbed “quirky” by the estate agents, is believed to have been a former maid’s storage cupboard in the Georgian townhouse.

It has one main room with just enough space for a collapsible double bed and an entrance area with a kitchenette opposite a small bathroom.

On the agent’s website, the “small but perfectly formed” property is described as a “one of the most functional and stylish apartments in central London”.

The property has been listed for a staggering £225,000.

It is owned by Ian Hogarth of Hogarth Architects – a London-based firm specialising in residential projects.

On hausproperties.com, where it is listed, it says: “Hogarth Architects have created a small but perfectly formed studio apartment to the rear of the second floor of this attractive Georgian building.

“Planned to utilize every inch of space and creating what must be one of the most functional and stylish apartments in central London.”
