Look around five fantastically tiny homes
They say the best things come in small packages and while most of us enjoy peeking inside huge mansions, we shouldn’t forget that smaller homes can also pack a punch.
Tiny properties, like the five in our round-up below, are often bursting with just as much character as their larger counterparts and should be celebrated with as much gusto as sprawling homes with acres of land.
So, join us as we take a look around the homes which prove that bigger doesn’t necessarily always mean better…
Stratford-upon-Avon
Whilst the matchbox nature of this quaint little cottage undoubtedly contributes to its character, home hunters who’re over six ft tall will more than likely have to duck through doorways here.
The exterior of this charming Grade II-listed home – classically timber framed and thatched – gives the impression of a mature cottage with plenty of stories to tell, but inside, it is cosy and modern and reassuringly welcoming.
Some of the features which may catch your eye are the traditional inglenook fireplace or the exposed timber and oak flooring.

Colchester
Tucked away in a neighbourhood in the country’s oldest town, this two-bedroom cottage is anything but old fashioned – it stylishly and creatively maximises the space to mesmerising effect.
The property combines history and a sense of fantasy as it’s approached via cobbled paths which lead to an ivy-covered walkway. The home backs on to a gorgeous, thriving woodland, too.
But Ivy Cottage itself is the embodiment of cosiness and comfort. The exposed brick and oak make this home feel like the ideal place to write a novel.

Gwynedd
Nestled in its own glorious corner of Snowdonia National Park, this stone-built haven is the ideal place to weather spring showers – while for the brave, there are two pubs within walking distance.
The compact Plas Y Dduallt is situated in a brilliantly elevated position overlooking the Vale of Ffestiniog with fine views across the Moelwyn and Rhinog mountain ranges.
Inside, you’ll be exposed to incredible masonry work, but the pièce de résistance is the charming kitchen with a vaulted and beamed ceiling, which provides a hospitable space and boasts a large arched window with views to the rolling countryside outside.

Chichester
Churchill Cottage really does punch above its weight in the wow factor stakes. It’s a sensational Grade II-listed period cottage, part of a terrace of similar cottages, set just yards away from the waterfront of Bosham Harbour.
It may not be blessed with space, but it’s a great entertaining area and the picturesque panoramas make this home an incredible place from which to escape modern life.
Set over three floors, it features an open-plan kitchen and dining area and south-facing Velux windows on the second floor.

Hampshire
This one-bedroom property is nestled in a quiet location in the village of Ropley – not far from Alresford – and really does stand out from the rest of the properties thanks to that eye-catching sloped thatch roof.
The interior of the property doesn’t disappoint either, thanks to extension and renovations by the current owners who have created a delightful study, a kitchen/breakfast room and an ensuite bedroom that all look really inviting.
This property is listed for sale with Charters.
