THE BEST OF THE WEB - DIGESTED
Is this Britain's most expensive garage? Tiny lock-up in Kensington goes on sale for £650,000... the same price as an eight-bedroom farmhouse in Northumberland
The garage in Kensington, west London, measures just 420 sq. ft., but its exclusive W8 postcode means it has gone up for sale for £650,000, the same price as an eight-bedroom farmhouse in Northumberland. The lock-up workshop, which is being used to store tools, bicycles and furniture, is currently uninhabitable but the sellers insist it is a 'good deal' because it has the potential to be transformed into a small one-bedroom flat. In its current state, the property has external parking for two cars on a forecourt and an electric, roller-blind garage door. Christopher Mackay, spokesman for estate agency Raglan International, said: 'It has the potential to be an incredible and unique property.' In contrast, the Northumberland grade II listed farmhouse boasts eight bedrooms plus an additional two-bedroom detached cottage.
The 50 best places to live in the UK: South East of England dominates 2014 quality of life league with Hampshire district retaining top spot
Nestled in the north-east corner of Hampshire, the tranquil district of Hart (centre) has been crowned as the place with the best quality of life in the UK for the fourth year in a row. The district landed first place after being ranked highly on a number of measures. The study revealed Hart residents enjoy more sunshine hours than most of Britain, high wages and life expectancy, and the area boasts vast open spaces of woodland. Elmbridge in Surrey and Winchester, also in Hampshire, came second and third on the annual 'top 50' list compiled by Halifax - which was once again dominated by areas in the South East of England. Other top ranking areas include Warwick, which claimed eleventh place, and Richmond-upon-Thames, which was ranked fifteenth.
