This tiny house might be rather narrow, but it packs in a lot more than you’d think.
At it’s tightest point, this cottage in Cornwall measures just 3ft, or 91cm wide.
It’s squeezed between two existing semi-detached homes, in the seaside town of Porthleven, the most southerly port in the UK.
At £235,000, it might seem like a hefty price tag for such a tiny home, but according to Rightmove, the overall average price of a property in the area is actually £367,842, so you could be bagging yourself a bargain.
The home is actually shaped like an iron – so is wider towards the rear – and features everything one person might need in a new home.
There’s a a bedroom, just big enough for a double bed, a brightly coloured kitchen, a bathroom and lounge – although be prepared to sit rather close to your TV.

You also get stunning views out to sea.
The home has an interesting history too. The street itself used to be called the Lifeboat Terrace, as its the location of the town’s first lifeboat house, built in 1863.
Other residents can recall it being call called the Box and Heater due to its iron shape.
