Inside 'Britain's tiniest house' that's gone on sale for £235,000

If you're looking for a cosy place with a sea view, then you might want to give this little place in Cornwall a look, and when we say 'little', we really mean it.

A Cambridge University study has found that homes in the UK are actually the smallest in Europe, and we might just have found the home that's dragging the national average down.

In the Cornish town of Porthleven, there's a one-bedroom cottage called 'The Doll's House', which technically has everything a homeowner could want from their property.

There's a place to sleep, wash, cook, and evacuate the contents of your bowels, and as if that wasn't enough, there's even spaces which could technically be classified as a living room and hallway.

It's a bedroom, it contains a bed, what more could you want? (Rightmove)

Let's just hope you aren't bothered about getting any legroom in any of these places, and you won't have much joy locating copious storage space.

Quite frankly, this property seems like it would be ideal for someone who barely exists in the physical world and is not particularly fussed about having a lot of material possessions.

If all of this sounds amazing, and if you can afford the asking price of £235,000, then this new home could be all yours.

It was last bought back in 2020 for £195,000, and before that, it went on sale in 2006 for £127,000, rather proving that the key to gaining wealth in Britain is to have bought property a few decades back and let it get expensive.

The land this house was built on what used to be an alleyway between two other houses, so if you're thinking the front of it seems a little wide, then rest assured - it gets a lot narrower as you go in.

While you don't get a garden as part of the property, The Doll's House does come with a small patch of stone chippings out front, and it seems there's space for a bench where you can look out to the sea.

At least you could if there weren't other properties in the way.

There is an enticing little nugget about this minuscule abode, and that's the fact that, according to The Doll's House listing on Rightmove, it's exempt from Council Tax.

The estate agents are calling it 'a charmingly narrow and characterful property', which deserves some sort of award for putting an optimistic spin on things.

They said the cottage was 'more spacious than you might expect', and bless them for trying their best with what is quite clearly a very small property.

Another study from The Royal Institute of British Architects found that many homes for Brits aren't big enough for the needs of the people living in them, so if you want to make The Doll's House work for you, then here's hoping you have a minimalist approach to life.
