BRITAIN's "skinniest home" which measures just three feet wide has a secret hidden inside.
At first glance, the incredibly narrow building in Bristol looks like you would have to be two-dimensional to live there.

Approaching the property side on it looks almost uninhabitable with a tiny slither of a wall measuring up at just three feet wide.
The block of flats on New Station Road in Fishponds is one of the city's unsung optical oddities.
And the skinniest area of the three-storey property is only just big enough for a toilet cistern.
Its unique appearance has caused a stir online and has both baffled and amused neighbours in the local area for years.
However, when you view the property from a few different angles you notice that it has an almost triangular "wedge" shape.
The other side of the block of flats is much wider than the tapering narrow side, meaning the property is certainly not as cramped the whole way along.
The skinniest area of the Bristolian block of flats is only just big enough for a toilet cistern, local man Andy Bollan said.
He estimated it must be around a minuscule one metre wide with the bathroom seemingly in the "skinniest" section of the building.
One local, who wished to stay anonymous, told the outlet: "Probably the only similar building I've seen like that is the Flatiron Building in New York.
"I don't think it's an eyesore, I just don't know how people can live there, it's so small!"
