Snooker table-sized flat for sale at £170,000

A flat roughly the size of a snooker table has gone on sale for £170,000 in London's upmarket Chelsea.

The former janitor's storeroom measures 11ft by 7ft and has a cupboard place for a shower and kitchenette area.



The basement flat at 18 Cadogan Place in SW1 has not had a spruce up in a while and the rubble may deter homebuyers.

Even the estate agent selling the property, Jason North, associate director at Lane Fox admitted the flat was "incredibly depressing".

Nevertheless, the flat is expected to attract buyers due to its close proximity to the fashionable bars, shops and leisure facilities of Kensington and Chelsea.

In fact, the £170,000 price tag may make it one of the few affordable properties in what is London's and the UK's costliest borough.
