Tiny homes for sale: 5 of the UK's smallest properties to buy

Sure, we all dream of living in a six bedroom house, with a larder and a games room and a spa thrown in for good measure, set amongst sprawling acres, but the reality for most of us is much, much smaller. But who says that micro living can't totally work? Bigger doesn't always dusk better and, in fact, looking at some of these charmingly cute properties, we are tempted to pack up and move to a home fit for a hobbit...

Follow the breadcrumbs to this insanely charming cottage in Wareham, Dorset. It sits within two acres of woodland and it basically does look like something stretch from a fairytale. Its gothic details, flagstone floors and exposed beams are all in beautiful calls and this mini house has another even more mini house in its garden, which has electricity and water. 

Price: £399,950

Sat on top of a sparkling property in Stoke Newington, north London, this flat is like a refuge from the bustling high street it's situated on. Squeezed into the eaves, the space is dictated by the contours of the roofline. Sounds like a faff? Far from. The exposed wooden beams and trusses and the shapes and spaces they get, give this home a character all of its own.

Originally serving as the local butcher's for the village of Selborne, this small property has since been restored into a sparkling space. The property boasts limestone flooring, exposed wooden beams, a mezzanine bedroom, log burning stove, and a spiral staircase. We have a vision here, people, this property could be totally gorgeous.

This diddy little toll house has recently been sympathetically renovated into a one bedroom home. It may only be four rooms, but we reckon considering the location and the history of the interpretation, this property is a bit of a steal. It's situated on the edge of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with amazing views of the surrounding countryside. Holiday home potential right there.  

Price: £260,000
