Smallest House in Britain

Images of Britain: Smallest House in Britain, Conwy, Wales

The Smallest House in Britain, located in Conwy, Wales, is a tiny red-painted cottage that holds the record as the smallest house in the UK. Measuring just 6 feet wide and a little over 10 feet high, the house was built in the 16th century and was last occupied in the early 1900s by a fisherman named Robert Jones, who, despite being over six feet tall, lived there comfortably. The house consists of just two rooms - one downstairs with a coal-fired stove and one upstairs for sleeping. It was deemed unfit for habitation in 1900, but it has since become a popular tourist attraction, offering visitors a glimpse into historical living conditions. Nestled against Conwy's medieval town walls, the house remains a quirky and beloved landmark in Wales.
