England’s “smallest home” sitting beside a busy road and measuring just 10ft by 10ft has gone on sale for £27,000.
The windowless building measures just 10ft by 10ft and sits beside the B3227 Milverton road, near the hamlet of Croford in Somerset.
Despite its modest size, the property has been designed to provide a compact retreat, with an open-plan living area, kitchenette and ladder leading to a mezzanine sleeping space.

A separate shower room includes a toilet, washbasin and shower cubicle.
Outside, there is a small enclosed lawn, while infrastructure is already in place for a mains water connection, although it has not yet been connected.
Planning permission was granted by Somerset Council in February last year to convert the hut into holiday accommodation, as reported by Luxury Property News
Estate agent Stags is inviting informal tenders, with offers due by midday on Tuesday, November 3, 2026.
A Stags spokesperson described the sale as a “unique opportunity” to acquire a property with further development potential, subject to the necessary planning consents.
They said it offered an “exciting opportunity to create a rural Somerset retreat” or establish a business in the growing holiday-let market.
The hut is less than two miles from Wiveliscombe, which has shops, schools and leisure facilities, and lies between the villages of Milverton and Wiveliscombe.
Council planning officer Denise Todd previously said allowing the building to become a holiday let would prevent it falling into disrepair because of its small size.
Chartered surveyor Ryan Holmes said the decline in demand across much of the rural commercial property market had led investors to consider alternative uses for redundant buildings.
He said: “It is clear demand in most sectors of the rural commercial property market is declining and many commercial property investors are seeking alternative uses for what are now effectively redundant commercial premises.
“Alternative uses explored in similar circumstances include conversion of properties to leisure use as holiday accommodation or residential use.”
The property has mains electricity and standard broadband, according to the listing. Mobile coverage varies depending on the network.
The hut is being sold by informal tender through Stags’ Wellington office, with viewings strictly by appointment.
