A double garage in central London just 10ft wide is up for sale for \u00a3750,000, leaving house-hunters reeling.<\/p>\n
The parking space, which is just yards from Selfridges and Oxford Street, hit the market earlier this month, when it was listed on Rightmove and Manors, a high-end estate agent operating out of Westminster.<\/p>\n
Situated under a block of flats and next to other garages, the spot is in the prestigious Portman Square in Marylebone – and there is super-fast broadband of 1000mbps available.<\/p>\n
That said, at just over 29ft long, it offers just 303 square feet of space in total, enough to park two Mini Coopers front to back (but only a Bentley and a half!).<\/p>\n
Inside, it consists of little more than four white cinderblock walls, a concrete floor and a metal grill door usually seen on old-fashioned lifts.<\/p>\n

A double garage in central London has been listed for sale for a whopping \u00a3750,000<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
At 10ft wide and 29ft long, the cinderblock-walled and concrete-floored garage is located in Portman Square in Marylebone<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The parking spot is under a block of flats and next to a series of other nondescript garages<\/p>\n
One of the walls comes to around hip height, meaning the garage owners would have access to their neighbour’s space and vice versa.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the eye-watering six-figure sum being asked for is enough to buy an entire hotel in Scotland.<\/p>\n
The tenure for this ‘property’ is a leasehold, but there is no charge for ground rent, according to the listing.<\/p>\n
The description reads: ‘A double garage space available within this 24-hour portered residential building. On the east side of Portman Square.<\/p>\n
‘Moments from the world renown Selfridges store and Oxford Street. Approximate Gross Internal Area 28.1 sq m \/ 303 sq ft.’<\/p>\n
The Manors listing was shared to social media on Friday, December 15, by a baffled house-hunter, stunned by the extortionate price.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Social media users could not believe their eyes, one joking: ‘They’d better include the traffic cone for that kind of price.’<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A Reddit user said: ‘Might be funny for you, but its in the location where\u00a0 a person will buy it not eve understanding if its expensive or not’<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Another Reddit user asked: ‘Could you just jump that little wall on the left and have access to others’ garages?’<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A third Reddit user joked that a ‘soul-sucking landlord parasite’ would try to squeeze bunk beds in to rent it out<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Another Reddit user said: ‘They’d better include the traffic cone for that kind of price’<\/p>\n
They wrote: ‘\u00a3750,000 for 28 sq. m of parking space.’<\/p>\n
The post has since received dozens of likes and comments from social media users quick to mock the price of the listing and anyone who would pay that much.<\/p>\n
One user said: ‘Might be funny for you, but it’s in the location where a person will buy it not even understanding if it’s expensive or not… and not even caring of that.’<\/p>\n
Another added: ‘I’m looking at that and thinking ‘Some soul-sucking landlord parasite will be thinking I can squeeze three sets of bunkbeds in there and rent them out at \u00a3100 a week easy’.’<\/p>\n
A third commented: ‘I’m probably being thick, but could you just jump that little wall on the left and have access to others’ garages? Doesn’t seem too secure.’<\/p>\n
Another added: ‘The people that can afford this space probably have cars that don’t fit in here. Doesn’t even look like 2.5m wide. The Range Rover is like 2.1m.’<\/p>\n
A fifth joked: ‘They’d better include the traffic cone for that kind of price.’<\/p>\n
