Optimism is still very much alive in the housing market.

Only about 10 grand cheaper than WIDER properties on that road.
When I saw it on RM I had to drive past to see if it was a joke picture. It ain't!!

I went to view a house this side with a friend at the height of the late 80s boom.
Straight off the pavement of the main road into the front room. Go down a bit and the stairs then took up half the width.
Upstairs, two bedrooms. Both only JUST big enough to get a bed in (1 double, 1 single) and you banged your knees trying to get round the bed (beds were against two walls to start with!
Less than 2 months later, crash .... and the house next door, which was double the width/size was on the market for the same amount.
The small house at that time was up for £70,000, in the late 80s.0 -
This is the narrowest house in Britain. Under 4 feet wide

That isn't a room, it's a corridor!...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
Just found this one too. Not much better/bigger than the OP's offering, but £232k

"This property is a real one off and to appreciate its charm and cottage feel book an appointment to view today."
Cottage feel ! Now I know what that means. It's a euphemism for claustrophobic.:j"A goldfish left Lincoln logs in me sock drawer!"

Not fit to keep a car in.
More room in a lock-up garage.0 -
Ae there many people in that part of the West Country that are incredibly thin that are on £40k so can and would like to own a house like that? It would probably help to have thin family and friends.
You wouldn't want people round for dinner in case then end up stuck like Winnie the Pooh at Rabbit's!0 -
Probably doesn't need central heating, since you will get adequate from the neighbours?In case you hadn't already worked it out - the entire global financial system is predicated on the assumption that you're an idiot:cool:0
