The pocket-sized pad in Newton Poppleford, Devon, is 265 years old and was originally built in 1758.

The thatched toll house has walls that measure the same size as an average door – but it fits more than you may imagine.

Crammed inside is a porch, a living room with open attic space, a kitchen, shower room and bedroom.

There is also a tiny paved outdoor area to take a breather when you’re feeling confined.

The listing read: “The property is likely to be of interest to a homeowner or those looking for a lock-up-and-leave bolt hole.

“It could also be of interest to investment purchasers.”
