A HOUSE thought to be among the tiniest in Britain which is half the size of its neighbours has caught the attention of onlookers.
The three-storey building is sandwiched between a row of Victorian townhouses in Cambridge – but it barely fits a front door.
Each neighbour boasts a large bay window, alongside a thinner aperture on each floor.
Aside from this gaff on Chesterton Road, which tightly fits one narrow window on each floor.
Members of the Odd Things About Cambridge Facebook group have debated the purpose of the building.
One person claimed the house is a “pretty modern” one bedroom home with a bathroom and open-plan living space, Cambridgeshire Live reports.
But apparently the house used to be part of the property next door until the developer turned it into flats.
Another person supported this theory, seeing as the bricks are interlaced and the cornering matches.
However, she went on to admit this could be a later adaptation.
Meanwhile a third person suggested the narrow house might be the original as its stairs look more dated.
He believes the building on the left may actually have been added later.
Another commentator told how his cousin lived in the narrow house years ago and that it used to be a furriers house.
Other people compared the house to the fictional home of Sirius Black in Harry Potter of number 12 Grimmauld Place.
Another person joked that if you touch the right bricks, they might become wider.
Enthusiasts can even buy a copy of an old photograph of the building from the James Bentley Archive.
The photograph shows two people standing outside of the house in what looks like Victorian dress, which would suggest that house has been there for quite a long time, but the photo has not been dated.
