  • An apartment in London's "thinnest" house, which is just 6-feet wide at its narrowest point, is for sale.
  • It has a price tag of £795,000 ($1.1m) and has been listed for two months.
  • The eccentric property is situated in South Kensington – one of the city's most prestigious districts.

A two-bedroom apartment in what is described as London's "thinnest" house is for sale, and MyLondon reported that there aren't any buyers.

The property, which is on the market for £795,000 ($1.1 million), is situated in the aptly named Thin House. The skinny building on Thurloe Square is just 6-feet wide at its narrowest point. That makes it narrower than a standard London double-decker bus, which is usually about 8-feet wide.

It's smaller than other properties that have also staked a claim for the title of London's narrowest home.

The building is triangular, according to Secret London, which means that it widens to 34-feet at its largest point.

And it's in one of London's most sought-after areas, South Kensington – just a stone's throw away from historic museums, luxury department stores, and some of the city's most prestigious addresses.

It comes with a small terrace, and access to communal gardens.

The building was constructed in the late 19th century by a local builder who had the vision to fill a tiny, vacant lot between the London Underground's District Line and other houses on the road, per Secret London.

He filled the skinny triangle with seven artists' studios, creating the Thin House, which was eventually converted into apartments.

The 2-bedroom apartment, in the slither of a building, has been listed since early September.

But MyLondon speculates that its proximity to a noisy Tube line, hefty price tag, and "bizarre" shape might make it difficult to sell.
