UK's 'thinnest house' on sale

英国伦敦“最瘦”住宅出售

A property in London's Shepherd's Bush might be the thinnest one in the country, and it is up for sale for $1.3 million by estate agents Winkworth.

位于英国伦敦谢菲尔德布什地区的一处房产可能是“伦敦最瘦的房子”，目前正在网上由房地产中介温克沃思挂牌出售，要价130万美元。

Squeezed between a walk-in clinic and a hair salon that has shuttered, the property is all of six-feet wide, has five floors and measures a total of 1,034 square feet.

这栋面积1034平方英尺（约454平方米）的住宅夹在一个免预约诊所和一个已经关门的美发沙龙之间，有五层楼高，宽度仅为6英尺（约1.8米）。

Reportedly the home was once a Victorian hat shop with storage and living quarters and was built in the late 19th or early 20th century.

据报道，这栋房屋建于19世纪末或20世纪初，曾是维多利亚时代的一家帽子店，带有仓库和生活区。

And while a price tag of $1.3 million means this listing is far from affordable, tiny houses are increasingly popular as architects respond to high living costs, increasing urban density and greater interest in downsizing and simplifying our lives.

虽然130万美元的价格意味着这套房源让很多人都买不起，但随着建筑师们对高生活成本、城市密度的提高，以及对缩小和简化生活的更大兴趣，迷你屋越来越受欢迎。
