This house at the end of Pearson terrace next to Hyde Park Picture House is extremely small, it amounts to three rooms stacked vertically.None are big enough to get a double bed in, or rather, a double bed will go in, and nothing else.http://goo.gl/maps/dktLAJust look at that front garden!

These places must be a nightmare to sort out responsibility/ownership if there's a roof leak!!

It looks nearly as big as most of the other houses.

After further investigation it is one dwelling, but most of the property is to the rear. Not a Tardis then Mick

Hmm, I can't get it to cut and paste,Anyhoo to Uncle MickI guess it does appear to be similar sized from the map, but that triangle side is much smaller than it seems - what space there is in there is completely useless - except for making the place seem like an understairs cupboard.The house is around half the size of the terrace house next to it, and none of those houses are exactly mansions - they are all pretty small even for back to backs.My cousin lived there for a time,I stayed a couple of nights - the bedrooms were so small you could not open the door fully, you then had to step on to the bed to close the door behind you, then you had enough room, just, to get to the chest of drawers.

I think an estate agent would describe it as compact
