The owners of a four bedroom ‘Tardis’ house hope that they have found a gap in the market after putting it up for sale for £1.25million.
The novel property is just 11ft wide at the front and fits perfectly in the narrow gap between two Victorian houses.
However, it has a clever L shaped extension at the rear, giving the back of the three storey property a width of 28ft.
On the site of a former coach house in New Cross, south London, the unique property has been designed by architects Selencky and Parsons and constructed using bricks from the original building that stood there.

The ‘tardis’ like interior is spread across three floors – despite the house being squeezed between two Victorian properties that loom over it
The house is nearly 30ft wide at the back with the patio doors and high windows allowing a huge amount of natural light to flood into the property
Its impressive walled garden has a patio and is over 82ft long, with two terraces and a lawn area, while the borders have exotic palms, ferns and tropical flowers
There is a central staircase which doubles as a light well bringing light into the building and creating the illusion of more space.
The downstairs level contains a toilet, a utility room, a larder, a wine fridge, an open plan kitchen and a dining room.
Large windows have been included in the design to let in extra light at the rear of the property which has 1,621sq ft of floor space.
It is a ‘smart house’ with underfloor heating and a speaker system, while access to it is gained via a small, gated front garden.

The unique ‘infill’ house which is just 11ft wide has emerged on the market for £1.25 million and is surrounded by more conventional properties
The project to build the home took 15 months to complete, with a small, derelict storage structure demolished to make room for it.
