Ever wanted to live in a house so narrow you can touch both walls at once? Well, someone just did! A quirky one-bedroom cottage in Pentre, Glamorgan, has caught everyone’s attention after selling for £45,000 at auction, more than its initial guide price of £23,000. Even though it’s only 7.5ft wide, it still manages to squeeze in all the essentials of a terraced house, along with a garden and garage. 🏡🚪
This “tiny but mighty” home on Llewellyn Street intrigued many with its compact charm, attracting 35 bids from hopeful buyers. Sean Roper from the auction house confirmed its appeal, noting that interest came from all over the place. “It’s a very neat and attractive package,” he said, proving that great things do come in small packages!
Despite its size, the house is packed with features. Downstairs, you’ll find a cosy lounge and kitchen, both benefiting from UPVC double glazing and gas central heating. Upstairs, a single bedroom and bathroom complete the snug setup. In a popular location close to Treorchy, this charming property could be transformed into a new home, a buy-to-let, or even a holiday let for those who fancy a unique getaway. 🌿🏘️
Pentre isn’t the only place with petite properties. Wales is home to several of these narrow dwellings, originally built as space-saving solutions. For instance, the tiniest house in Britain can be found in Conwy, North Wales, and is a popular tourist attraction.
