Welsh House Just 7.5 Feet Wide Sells for £45,000 at Auction
A house in Wales that's only 7.5 feet wide sold for £45,000 at auction on Friday, April 16. The one-bedroom property on Llewellyn Street in Pentre is so narrow that people can touch both walls at the same time.
One of Wales' skinniest houses just found a new owner willing to live in extremely tight quarters. The property on Llewellyn Street in Pentre, located in Rhondda Cynon Taf, measures just 7.5 feet from wall to wall at its widest point.
Despite its unusual dimensions, the house attracted lots of interest from bidders. The auction ended with someone paying £45,000 for the narrow property.
The tiny home manages to pack in all the typical features of a terraced house despite its slim profile. It includes one bedroom, plus a garden and garage. The house is so narrow that an average-sized person can stretch out their arms and touch both walls simultaneously.
The property represents an extreme example of compact living, showing how developers and buyers are getting creative with unusual spaces to find affordable housing options.
This shows how creative housing solutions can provide affordable options in expensive markets. At £45,000, it's far cheaper than typical Welsh homes and still includes basic amenities like a garden and garage.
The new owner will likely begin renovations to make the narrow space livable.
