It dates back to 1756 and measures just 11ft 10in x 10 ft 3in and stands 12 ft 2in high. Stretch out your arms and you practically touch either side of the rooms.  In August 2000, the Guinness Book of Records proclaimed it the smallest detached property in Great Britain. And yet 100 years ago, a family of eight lived there.  Such is its quirkiness, when it went up for auction in 1999 it sparked bids from all over the world including Hong Kong, Athens and New York. It's claimed there was even an offer from Uri Geller.
