A cramped London flat that’s smaller than a six-yard box has gone on sale for a whopping £270,000.

The pint-sized property near Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge measures just 10.2 square metres – less than 10% of a football goal area.

The so-called “studio” on Brompton Road, Knightsbridge, somehow squeezes in a bed, oven and sink – all in a space barely two yards wide.

Despite the eye-watering price tag, the lucky buyer will be in one of London’s most exclusive postcodes, just a stone’s throw from Harrods, as reported by Luxury Property News.

Residents in the block also get concierge service and security thrown in.

Described as a “pied-à-terre” – a small flat for occasional use – estate agents GrowPortfolio London say it’s “ideal for first-time buyers”.
