It is a four mile drive away from nearby town Sidmouth located on the tourist hotspot the Jurassic Coast. The yellow one level home is heading under the hammer with auctioneers Clive Emson. The Auction House lists the property as an opportunity for someone to use as "a lock-up and leave bolt hole." It also says investment purchasers may be interested in the property.

YOU could be the proud new owner of a property dubbed the UK’s shortest house for just £70,000 – if you can fit inside.

The miniature abode would make the perfect cosy cottage, but you better mind your head as it’s only two metres tall.

The UK’s shortest house is on the market for just £70,000

Buyers have enough room to cram a kitchen inside, but may need to mind their heads

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 haven to take a breather when your feeling confined – and to store our wheelie bin.

The remarkable property was put on the market via the Clive Emson Land and Property Auctioneers website.

Home experts say it would be the perfect “lock-up and leave” hideaway or an opportunity for renovation.

The “charming” toll house is also located just a stones throw away from the tourist hotspot, the Jurassic Coast.

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.”

However, they failed to add a height warning in the details.

Another ridiculously small home went on sale for £215,000 – a price including the cost of the incredible secret blow.

The unique Eastgate Lodge has an incredible 306sq ft of additional space hidden underground for any prospective owners.

The current owners boasted it “only takes 30 minutes to clean” as well as being in a prime location in North Yorkshire.

We previously told how visitors of the UK’s tiny house in North Wales complained it was TOO small.

The tourist attraction is just 122 inches tall and only has specially made furniture – because that’s all that will fit through its door.
