Bristol locals have branded two narrow homes built in an alley, wedged in between a house and a kebab shop as ‘ridiculous’ and ‘vile’.
The slim detached properties, in Kingswood, Bristol, each have three-bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, reception rooms and a narrow staircase.
Both houses are currently off the market while new carpets are being installed, but that hasn’t stopped Bristolians from calling ‘vile’ and ‘ridiculous’.

The slim detached properties each have enough space for three bedrooms
But there were some people were more sympathetic to the houses, including one who said: ‘sometimes it’s good to be different’, while another noted they ‘don’t see a problem’.
Jake Grady, managing director of estate agent Nexa Bristol, said he views the houses as ‘high-quality, detached homes’ with generous bedrooms.
He also praised their location, pointing out they are near the high street and ‘fairly close’ to a key ring road.
However, Mr Grady said he understood why some people were scratching their heads over the houses’ location, next to Golden Kebab.
It also has a very narrow bathroom with it’s bath tub and toilet positioned very close to each other
The slim houses also have a reception rooms for welcoming and entertaining guests
He said: ‘They’re probably not similar to the surrounding buildings but, at the end of the day, they’re surrounded by period buildings and we just don’t build that type of property anymore.’
Bristol City Council originally rejected the planning application for the homes but were then approved following an appeal to the Planning Inspectorate.
The Planning Inspectorate did not wish to comment when approached.
Bristol City Council was contacted for comment.
