    I am in the process of buying a very small terrace house. You know the type....someone built a row of terrace house but when they met in the middle there was a narrow patch left! So, they built a dolls house one bed in the gap!

    I will get some pics up when i can as i am 80% through the buying process at mo.

    Waiting for answers from vendors regarding searches.

    House needs gutting and modernising.

    My health will stop me from doing a lot so looking to get various trades in. I want to see if i can add another room. Either build onto single extension or attic room. Will see what builder / architect says.

    Have to be honest as i am very nervous about this one as it looks very claustrophobic!

    My daughter keeps telling me it will be fine as small place, cheaper to maintain and heat up etc!

    No doubt i will be asking you guys for help and advice.

    Good luck with it. Always very exciting buying a new place once you get over the inevitable trauma of the process.

    The one great thing about owning your own place, on matter how small, is that you own your own place!

    Good luck with the purchase, I'm sure you'll keep us all posted :D

    Frustrating as some aspects of house buying is going to be, you will get a bigger measure of fun and enjoyment getting things into shape (especially if it’s been neglected) and yet some more when you choose fixture, fitting etc to put your own stamp on it.

    a loft extension is a great idea, as it will enable you to insulate the roof to the latest level and have extra room

    Thing is, house is extremely tiny! Narrow... Built circa 1900.

    Sold my last place to downsize!

    Size is overrated!

    Happiest years of my life were spent living in a single room!
