London’s best infill homes for sale
(Picture: ES)It takes a certain kind of creative mind to look at a patch of brambles and see a striking architectural build.
Though economies of scale means that property developers remain wary of taking on one-off pockets of land, a growing interest in infill homes has produced a spate of offbeat structures squeezed into small plots across the capital.
These projects are often spearheaded by ambitious residents who have squared off a section of their own garden, or decided they can do without a double garage after all.
We’ve chosen some of the best examples on the market now, from an upside-down build in Crouch End to a micro home in Victoria Park.
