The Smallest House in Great Britain


The Smallest House in Great Britain can be found on the Quay, in Conwy, Wales. It has its own entry in the Guinness Book of Records. This house is also known as the Quay House.

Its dimensions are 3.05 metres x 1.8 metres.

It has been lived in since the sixteenth century. It was even inhabited by a family at one point. It was lived in until 1900, when the owner was a 6ft 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. The house is still owned by his descendants.

In June 2006, there was a 50% loss of tourists to the house because of the road work that was being done near the house. The BBC recorded the event which was subsequently reported on One Minute
