Smallest House in Great Britain
Smallest House in Great Britain, House museum on Conwy Quayside, Wales
The smallest house in Great Britain sits on Conwy Quay and is a tiny stone dwelling with two floors. It contains a living area on the ground level and a bedroom above, where visitors can see how people lived in earlier times.
The building was constructed in the 16th century and served as a home for Conwy residents over many years. It remained lived in until 1900, telling a long story of daily life along the Welsh waterfront.
The house reflects how people lived in Conwy during the 16th century, showing local building traditions of that era. The tight space reveals how residents managed daily life within such confined quarters.
The house is small and requires visitors to adapt to tight quarters, so it may not suit everyone. The best time to visit is during dry weather, and visitors should wear comfortable clothing to manage the steep stairs.
Residents had to make do with extremely limited space, and one of the most striking details is the water tap tucked behind the staircase. This practical yet unexpected feature shows how people organized their household functions within extreme constraints.
