Nice, but too many windows.

What about a wee hobbit/teletubbie home?

There is a tiny village of these tiny-ish houses in Highgate, Holly Village:

Not exactly tiny, but "deceptively spacious", as an estate agent might say.

At under eight feet wide, most people would automatically pity the owners of this narrow house.

But far from being cramped, this home gives a new meaning to the phrase 'good things come in small packages', as behind its thin door is a sprawling property that actually spreads to 22ft wide.

Tom and Sarah Tidbury have really made the most of their space after they purchased the period property in 2009.

Nicknamed 'the Wedge' as it starts off thin before growing wide at the rear, the couple have extended the 721 square feet of space and being granted the right for a home extension.

And with a little creative thinking, the pair have transformed the 7ft 7ins wide place in Clapham, south west London, the Evening Standard reported.


Despite appearances the home, which the Tidburys call 'the Tardis' because people cannot believe 'how big it is once you get inside', accommodates four bedrooms, a long, thin garden,and a generously spaced kitchen.


To appease planners, who would only grant the property a three floor extension if the roof couldn't been seen from the street, as it is in a conservation area, a 'ski-slope roof' was created, which slopes down to wards the back and has skylights to allow in.

There's certainly no slim pickings of where to relax in the house, as the roof meant they could maximise space by using slanted ceilings for bedrooms and a dining area built over the former patio, reached by walking through the kitchen, living room and the lobby.

Clever use of space includes wall to ceiling shelves for books and photographs, while huge glass doors give the place a feeling of airiness, the Evening Standard reported.

A shower room and a dining area that opens on to the garden has meant that the value of the house has nearly double.

It was purchased for £430,000, but is now estimated to be worth between £750,000 and £800,000.

And their new spacious home with its increased value will undoubtedly be the envy of many a young would-be home-owner, who along with millions is struggling to get on to the property ladder.

Could I live in a tiny house by myself? Sure.

Could I raise in a family in a tiny house? Probably not.

It's funny how in America, people's ideas on how much house is enough has changed so drastically. I grew up in a house that had three bedrooms, two bathrooms and was about 1050 square feet. A lot of people these days would think it was impossible to raise a family in such a "tiny" house, even though some families raised several children in houses that size. It was normal back then.

Our house is four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and about 1700 square feet. We don't even have kids yet and my wife thinks it's too small despite the fact that two of the bedrooms are basically empty.
