ONE of Britain's narrowest homes built in a former alleyway and shaped like an iron is on sale.

The Doll's House cottage on Claremont Terrace in Porthleven is on the market with a guide price of £235,000.

The cottage was built in a former alley between two existing houses - and is just 3ft (0.91m) wide in places.

The ground floor of the property covers 180 sq ft (16.7 sq m) and the first floor is slightly smaller at 159 sq ft (14.8 sq m) - meaning the total floor area is 339 sq ft (31.5 sq m).

Agency Mather Partnership said the one-bedroom with sea views offers a “delightful blend of character and modern living.”

It added: “With its quirky design, the property is well presented throughout, making it an inviting space for those looking to get away to the coast.

“Utilised as a holiday let by our current clients, one of the standout features of this lovely cottage is the incredible sea views that can be enjoyed from various vantage points within the home. This property truly embodies the essence of coastal living.”
