THIS tiny house has hit the market for a whopping £200k sum – and it’s just three metres wide.
House hunters are shocked at the staggering cost, saying the property looks like a children’s playhouse.

The one-bedroom property in Basingstoke, Hampshire is still up for grabs after being placed on the market for £195,000 in November.
It is the UK’s smallest house currently up for sale.
What’s more, the minuscule home is situated right next to a neighbouring house – which towers over it in height.
The house, which used to be a shed, appeared to be situated within the driveway of its neighbour, the Mirror reported.
But the property still has all the essentials of a normal house – just packed into a tiny space.
On the outside, there are three tiny steps leading to the front door, while a picture-perfect letterbox decorates it.
It is even complete with a white picket fence that is only inches high.
The inside features a joint bedroom and living room as well as a small but functional kitchen.

The bathroom has a simple walk-in shower, toilet and towel radiator, as well as a dark wooden sink – all the makings of a homely feel.
The property also contained a back door to a patch of garden, the perfect refuge for a solo tenant.
Letting agent Jacobs described the property: “A delightful end of chain one bedroom, detached house. Located right in the heart of Oakley.
“Accommodation comprises living room/bedroom, kitchen, shower room and storage. To the rear of the property, there is a private enclosed garden.”
However, not everyone was so convinced.
Many took to social media to express their outrage, saying the soaring cost didn’t match the size of the property.
One wrote on the estate agent’s social media: “If you have saved a massive deposit, you too can live in a shed on someone’s drive.”
While a second commented: “This feels like it shouldn’t be legal.”
A third said: “It is above ground at least, and the toilet and kitchen aren’t in the bedroom, I suppose. Still pretty shocking.”
And another chimed in: “Every time someone posts one of these tiny houses squeezed into somewhere it shouldn’t be, I think ‘Surely it can’t be as bad as the last one’ but it’s always worse.”
It’s not the only tiny house to exist in the UK.
In fact, this is the UK’s smallest home – although it is not currently on the market.
There are plenty of other mini homes across the country.
This couple even revealed how they made a tiny home in their garden which they now Airbnb out for £2,500 a month.
