Tiny Homes Pack Big Interest in UK Auction

0:00On April 20th, a super slim one-bedroom cottage in Pintre, South Wales, just sold at auction for 45,000 pounds, more than double its 23,000 pound guide price. This spot on the Wellenstree measures only 7.5 feet across at its widest, making it one of Britain's skinniest homes. But that didn't. Scare off bitters, 35 offers came rolling in. The place packs in all the basics despite the tight squeeze, a lounge, dining area, kitchen, hallway, fitted bathroom, plus UPVC double glazing, A, garage, and even a long garden out back for some breathing room lengthwise. Folks clearly saw the charm in the compact setup, turning what could have been a tough sell into a bidding frenzy, proving tiny homes still pull big. Interest in the valleys. It's not alone in the narrow house game over in Conwy, a 16th century spot on the Keyside, claims Britain's smallest title at just 6 feet wide, and 10 feet deep once home to a tall fisherman before getting shut down as unfit back in 1900.
