Britain’s smallest house

• The Smallest House in Great Britain, also known as the Quay House, is a tourist attraction on the quay in Conwy, Wales.

• The house, which has a floor area of 3.05 meters by 1.8 meters (10 feet by 6 feet) and a height of 10 feet 2 inches, was used as a residence from the 16th century until 1900.

• The house was lived in until 1900, when the owner was a 6ft 3 inch (1.9 meters) fisherman named Robert Jones.
• This house is currently red. It stands near the Conwy Castle walls and people can enter for £1.00 (or 50p for children). There is information about the house inside. A Welsh lady stands outside most days. The upstairs is so minute that there is room only for one bed and a bedside cabinet. Visitors can't walk about on the 2nd floor, but can view it from the step ladder.
• There's just about enough room for one stove, a water tap, a bedside cabinet and a bed.
