An ordinary garage has been put on the market for an eyewatering £140,000 in a bustling UK city.

The building, which is located in Clapham, South London, is described as "spacious" and measures to a total of 232 sq ft. According to the listing on Rightmove, it states that the white-painted garage can fit two cars. Alternatively, estate agents have said it can be used for "great storage".

Lavender Hill is positioned just minutes from Clapham Common and Clapham Old Town - with its many restaurants, pubs and independent shops.
