Featuring dark wooden beams throughout, the miniature home was bought in 1891 for £20 ($24) by landowner and fisherman Robert Jones, according to its website. It came with a local resident in situ, another local fisherman also named Robert Jones, who, at 6 foot 3 inches tall (1.9m), was almost as tall as the tiny property was wide. At least he could lie down widthways!

Fisherman Jones was said to have entertained guests outside, as the two-storey house is too compact! Alongside several other properties, Robert's skinny home was deemed unfit for human habitation by the council in 1900 and he was forced to move out.
