Bizarre disused stairwell behind a Starbucks in Twickenham goes on the property market… for £20,000!

A disused stairwell behind a Starbucks in West London has been put on the market for £20,000.

Located in trendy Twickenham, it is not clear what any potential buyer could do with the space, but some have suggested that it could be transformed into a vertical farm or office pods.

A virtual video tour shows the space littered with cardboard boxes, rusty bikes, dingy pieces of furniture, potted plants and piles of fire extinguishers.

Broken windows and stained walls can also be seen in some of the pictures posted on housing website Zoopla.

The property is being described by the auction house as a ‘long leasehold stairwell with development potential subject to planning permission’.

The stairs are not connected to the block of flats that it used to serve.

Average property prices in London have increased by 63 per cent in the last decade from £322,000 to £525,000.

And this bizarre stairwell is the latest wacky property to go on the market as the London housing crisis worsens.

One ‘cosy’ flat in West Kensington, costing £520 per month, had no toilet and came with a shower located directly under the bed.

And in Hendon a landlord was fined for making tenants crawl up the staircase to reach their room which was situated in the attic, for £420 per month.

The UK Government has announced plans to tackle the housing crisis by making it easier to turn empty shops and offices into homes.
