What is being touted as potentially Britain's most expensive cupboard has been listed for sale with a staggering price tag of £15,000. The minuscule single storage room is located in the ultra-desirable Royal Borough of Kensington, within easy walking distance of Kensington Palace.
Prime Location at a Premium Price
The concrete box, identified as 'Storage Room D', is situated inside a complex of luxury flats. This postcode commands some of the highest property values in the capital, with average home prices in the area reaching £2.6 million. The room itself will go under the hammer via auctioneers Allsop on December 17.
Current marketing pictures reveal a sparse interior, with a fire extinguisher and a couple of abandoned scooters as the only occupants. Despite its humble appearance, the listing emphasises its exceptional location credentials.
Transport Links and Lease Details
The storage room boasts excellent connectivity. Both Holland Park and High Street Kensington Underground stations are within walking distance, providing easy access to the Tube network. For drivers, the A40 is easily accessible to the north, offering connections to both the M25 and M1 motorways.
According to the property description on Rightmove, the unit comprises a single store room held under a lease with approximately 39 years unexpired. It is subject to an underlease for the duration of that term, minus ten days. The listing also highlights its proximity to the extensive shops, restaurants, and recreational facilities of Kensington High Street.
A Symbol of London's Extraordinary Property Market
The sale of this tiny space for such a substantial sum underscores the intense premium placed on location and storage in London's most exclusive districts. It highlights a market where every square foot, even for basic storage, carries a significant value. The auction on December 17 will test whether there is genuine demand for what may be the capital's most compact and costly real estate investment.
