Did you know that Liverpool was once home to the smallest house in England? 🏠
Our city is full of history, but among its lesser-known treasures is a small relic near Picton Clock in Wavertree: Liverpool’s Smallest House. 
The house can be found at 95 High Street, Wavertree, standing out as an architectural oddity amidst its more traditional Victorian neighbours. 
Measuring just 6ft wide and 14ft deep, what was once a home has intrigued locals and visitors alike for years. It was almost the smallest house in the UK
 but narrowly beat by one in Conwy. 
The house dates back to 1850, built during a time when Liverpool’s population was rapidly expanding due to the city’s prominence as a port. 
Wavertree, then a village on the outskirts of Liverpool, was beginning to develop into a suburb. Landowners often sought to maximise their profits by constructing small, inexpensive homes to cater to the growing demand for housing.
Despite its tiny dimensions, the house served as a home for many working-class families over the years. 
While little documentation exists about its early inhabitants -  one story suggests that at one time eight children once lived in the home

The property features only two rooms – one on each floor – with a steep staircase connecting them.
In its time however, it was not considered unusual; rather, it was simply a part of working-class life.
In the late 90’s the façade was restored with fake windows and a door, and it still remains an iconic landmark in Wavertree. 
Today, unfortunately, the house no longer exists as a home, so we are unable to take a look inside. Around 2011 a real door was installed to provide access to flats above the bookies next door. 
While you can’t step inside, the exterior is well-maintained. Its narrow façade, complete with a bright red door, continues to draw attention and serves as a popular spot for history buffs and curious photographers.
