UK's 'thinnest house' on sale

英国伦敦“最瘦”住宅出售

A property in London's Shepherd's Bush might be the thinnest one in the country, and it is up for sale for $1.3 million by estate¹ agents Winkworth.

位于英国伦敦谢菲尔德布什地区的一处房产可能是“伦敦最瘦的房子”，目前正在网上由房地产中介温克沃思挂牌出售，要价130万美元。

Squeezed between a walk-in clinic and a hair salon² that has shuttered, the property is all of six-feet wide, has five floors and measures a total of 1,034 square feet.

这栋面积1034平方英尺（约454平方米）的住宅夹在一个免预约诊所和一个已经关门的美发沙龙之间，有五层楼高，宽度仅为6英尺（约1.8米）。

Reportedly the home was once a Victorian hat shop with storage and living quarters and was built in the late 19th or early 20th century.

据报道，这栋房屋建于19世纪末或20世纪初，曾是维多利亚时代的一家帽子店，带有仓库和生活区。

And while a price tag of $1.3 million means this listing is far from affordable³, tiny houses are increasingly popular as architects respond to high living costs, increasing urban density⁴ and greater interest in downsizing and simplifying our lives.

虽然130万美元的价格意味着这套房源让很多人都买不起，但随着建筑师们对高生活成本、城市密度的提高，以及对缩小和简化生活的更大兴趣，迷你屋越来越受欢迎。
