Smallest House in United Kingdom
 |
The minuscule home was created in the 16th century and remained in use until 1900, when the tenant was a 6-foot-3-inch fisherman named Robert Jones. The rooms were too small for him to stand up in fully and he was eventually forced to move out when the council declared the house unfit for human habitation, along with a number of properties. The house is still owned by his descendants.
The house has a floor area of 10.0 by 5.9 ft. It stands near the Conwy city walls. The ground floor is devoted to the living area with room for coal and an open fire, and a water tap tucked behind the stairs. The upstairs holds the cramped bedroom, which also comes with a small niche for storage.
