Step to riches? Disused stairwell in London could be yours for just £20,000

[muriel_volestrangler]

A disused four-storey stairwell at the back of a branch of Starbucks in south-west London has become the latest peculiar piece of property to go on sale in London’s feverish housing market.

Yours for £20,000 or thereabouts, the oddity will go under auction on Tuesday – with agents suggesting its appeals include a long leasehold, full vacant possession and “development potential”.

Office pods for workers desperate to escape working from home or a vertical farm are among ideas suggested by some who have viewed the particulars.

It is understood the stairwell is no longer connected to the block of flats that it used to serve and realistically anyone bidding would be doing so in the hope they could get permission to build something, or at the very least extensively adapt the existing structure on the small footprint available.

(For reference, this is about 10 miles from the centre of London, and a mile and a half from the nearest Tube station)
