Tiny West Country house the size of three parking spaces on the market for £109K

A West Country house that's the size of one-fifth of a tennis court is on the market for £109,000.

The aptly named 'Backabit Cottage' sits between two rather more substantially sized neighbours. The listing states it possesses a 'narrow but useful frontage' which seems a little unclear - unless you plan to practice your batting and bowling.

It's up for the modest price of £109,000, reflecting its more-than-modest size. It has one bedroom and one bathroom, but both look decently sized; there is plenty of room around the double bed, as well as a bath/shower combo in the bathroom which has ample floor space between all its pieces of furniture, reports Somerset Live.

One defining feature is the reception porch, complete with potting shelves and psychedelic style windows, adding character to an already gleaming property. Another desirable article is the wood-burning stove, and with a house this size I've no doubt it would heat up in no time, the beams across the top definitely add to the property's undeniable charm.

The kitchen does look surprisingly spacious, and offers all modern appliances including a dishwasher. The location is very convenient too, as Highbridge train station is only a ten-minute walk away, and the M5 is also instantly accessible, meaning you could be in Bristol in 45 minutes by car or train, and in Bridgwater or Taunton in less.

It's a little larger than Somerset's smallest house, so there's no claim to county fame, unfortunately. But, if you're looking for a cosy, mews-property nook for your first home that's very conveniently located then look no further.

The property is up for auction with 247 Property Auctions, owned and run by Scott Gray from BBC's Homes Under the Hammer. For more information, it can be viewed on Rightmove here. Alternatively, you can call 247 Property Auctions on 01395 899028.
