Small, single room in South Kensington to be sold for £150,000 at auction
A single room in South Kensington is to be auctioned for the staggering sum of £150,000 ($184,000, €172,000 or درهم675,000).
Curiously offered with a “reserve price not to exceed” that sum, the 205 square foot space is on the lower ground floor of 30 Queen’s Gate Gardens and held on a lease with 113 years remaining. It can be accessed from the main ground floor or entrance or via the lower ground floor entrance, has an external window and appears to have a rather large hole bashed in one of its walls.
Auctioneers Allsop will sell what could be one of the most expensive cupboards in London on 30th March at The Cumberland Hotel in Great Cumberland Place, W1H. The agents emphasise a key selling point in stating: “There is no liability towards the building’s insurance or service charge” with this property.
You’d be better off buying a shed.
Burn it to the ground!!!!!!!!! It is a dump!!!!!!!!!! Not worth 50 cents!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!!! Someone’s having a laugh!!!!!!!!!!!! Jokers!!!!!!!!!!!
Alternatively make it a cell for Andrew Picard and Farouk Abdulhak!!!!!!!!! Their parents wouldn’t mind having to go to a Kensington address to visit their dirty runt kids!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Chain them to the walls and administer rough justice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is all very well, but it doesn’t appear to have any facility to either cook or, ahem, to deficate/urinate!…this being the case I’m not quite sure who this could be aimed at?
If this is a single room, where does the hole in the wall. Looks like a previous tenant managed to escape. What a bloody joke, I must agree with Rod on this one, get that scum sucker Farouk chained to the wall, then bring in Rods wrecking ball, see how he likes to be buried under rubble as well.
