Gorgeous Victorian cottage for sale in Zone 1... only catch is it’s the size of a garage

Gorgeous Victorian cottage for sale in Zone 1... only catch it’s the size of a garage

Imagine finding a picturesque Victorian cottage in Zone 1 a short walk away from Tower of London.

Well, this converted schoolhouse in a gated Bermondsey community would only set you back a paltry £475,000.

Agents Stirling Ackroyd boast the one-bedroom open plan cottage comes with a front garden and car parking space.

The only catch is the living area is a poky 500 square feet - about the size of a double car garage.

The agents hope the “stunningly high” ceilings add to the illusion of space.

The bedroom is stowed away neatly upstairs with exposed original school beaming and storage space.

The living room even has enough space for a sofa so you won’t have guests sitting on those tiny little school chairs - if you don’t want to.

The estate agents say: “The wow factor is evident upon first stepping foot in the property.

“Ideally befitting anybody looking to get a foot on the property ladder, for use as a pied-de-terre, or to add something unusual to the property portfolio.

“An early internal inspection is an absolute necessity as this will not be on the market for long!”

The cottage on Searles Road is part of The Paragon estate a short walk away from both Tower Bridge and Elephant and Castle station.

For more information on the home and to arrange a viewing called Stirling Ackroyd’s London Bridge branch on 020 3917 8203 or visit here.
