This charming two-storey, town-centre home in the British locale Dorchester, Dorset, has been listed for sale.

The very reasonable asking price of just £175,000 ($305,000) will get you two bedrooms, one bathroom and a dual commercial and residental application – such a bargain.

But, as the old saying would have it – if it seems too good to be true, it probably is, and with that being said this exceedingly cheap residence does come with a rather significant caveat.

At its tightest, the home is an uncomfortably slender 1.7 metres wide, which would feel like quite a tight squeeze, regardless of any interior designing tricks.

Judging from the photos, the slim space hasn't even been adorned with any smart fixtures or fittings to make the most out of its five feet and eight inches.

The tiniest part of the home is reserved to just the main bedroom, however, whereas the rest of the residence is wider, measuring a humble three metres across.

There's also an arresting rooftop balcony on offer, which provides quaint aspects of neighbouring rooftops and treelines.

The total living space in this tiny home is equivalent to 46-square-metres, which is roughly what you'd expect in an average one-bedroom apartment.

Buyers who suffer from claustrophobia should probably avoid it, though you’d be snapping up quite the bargain.
