**Porthleven, Cornwall, UK –** A truly unique property has appeared on the market in the picturesque Cornish fishing village of Porthleven. Dubbed “The Doll’s House” due to its unusual shape, this one-bedroom home is on sale for £235,000 (approximately Rs 2.57 Crore).
Measuring a mere 339 square feet, the property is remarkably narrow, ranging from a minimum width of just three feet (less than a meter) to a maximum of slightly over 10 feet (3.08 meters). Its distinctive design, resembling a knife blade, makes it a standout amongst Cornish properties.
Despite its diminutive size, The Doll’s House boasts a surprisingly spacious layout across two floors. It includes a double bedroom, a brightly colored kitchen, a bathroom, and a lounge area—though viewers may need to cozy up to the television. The property’s prime location offers stunning sea views, adding to its desirability.
The house’s history is as intriguing as its design. Located on Claremont Terrace (formerly Lifeboat Terrace, home to the town’s first lifeboat house built in 1863), it has also been known locally as “The Box and Heater” due to its iron-like form.
Estate agents describe the property as an example of creative architecture, perfect for those seeking a unique, compact home. While space is certainly at a premium, the stunning location and charming character make The Doll’s House a tempting prospect for buyers seeking a truly distinctive property in a beautiful coastal setting.
