Measuring just 13ft square, it is what estate agents usually describe as 'bijou'.
But the owners of this quirky house are hoping size won't matter to prospective downsizers. For the UK's smallest detached home has been put up for sale for £235,000.
Located in Grimston Park in North Yorkshire, it measures just 13ft square above ground, where the only bedroom and a sleeping platform are.
Spiral staircases lead down to the kitchen, bathroom and a living room – which is topped by an impressive glass ceiling – and even a small courtyard.
And if that's not enough, buyers will be right in the heart of the historic estate, which dates back to 1086 and has played host to monarchs including James I and Queen Anne of Denmark.
