Minute apartment in Chelsea Barracks with barely enough room to swing a cat goes on sale for the same price as a massive mansion in Shropshire with 102 acres
Last week, The Steeple Times featured the sale of the vast, Grade I listed, 33,106 square foot treasure Kinlet Hall and now, for the same sum, we share news of the sale of a 713 square foot apartment in London where you’d barely have enough room to swing a cat.
Priced at £3.5 million ($4.4 million, €3.9 million or درهم16.3 million) and situated within the controversial Chelsea Barracks development on the borders of Belgravia, the ground floor space offered consists of a 20-foot by 17-foot open-plan kitchen and reception room, a 12-foot by 11-foot bedroom and a shower room. Aside from that, you do get access to the 12.8-acre grounds and use of a residents’ ‘club’ where facilities number a swimming pool, gym, spa and cinema room.
Chelsea Barracks attracted public attention in a 2010 court case after Prince Charles termed a previous scheme for it by Lord Rogers “awful.” As a result of the royal’s “hand grenade,” that was dropped and now, instead, the developers, Qatari Diar Europe, somewhat ostentatiously laud their project as: “A city home… with the facilities of a country estate.”
For £4.85 million ($6.02 million, €5.36million or درهم22.10 million), an-ever-so-slightly larger 1,023 square foot ground floor apartment is offered also by agents Savills. It has a dressing room and an additional lavatory, but your extra wonga doesn’t get you much else. We’ll take two; NOT!

Insane price! The housing association Peabody flats across the road are the same size and rent for a few hundred a month!
I don’t think the developer realises that nobody will want this in the wake of coronavirus. People want their own front door and not to be in communal buildings. The estate agent must be having a giggle with this valuation!
Sounds lovely if you are a stick insect!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You Poms are mental —– why would you pay £3.5 million smackers for that???????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Insane!!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s barely bigger than a studio cupboard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And probably going to only house rich immigrant shite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would like to live here!
Ugly building. Not worth it.
COVID-19 will put a stop to this nonsense. People want their own front doors. These kind of places will go down in value. Too much risk of infection with all those people wandering around with their dirty hands.
