"Micro houses" shipped directly from Ireland to your door

THINGS are getting smaller. Phones, laptops and televisions seem to get slimmer and slimmer every time an upgrade is released. So, it is probably no surprise that houses are following suit.

Dubbed “micro houses”, these 20 x 8 foot cabins have everything you want from the average house, at a fraction of the size – and price.

Though small, you get a lot of bang for your buck with these innovative houses.

A clever interior design makes the most of the space, with two loft areas providing the sleeping space as well as ample storage, to keep all of your clutter away from the living room.

Downstairs, you will find a surprisingly spacious living room, which makes excellent use of an L-shaped couch to provide additional storage.

A loft over the main living area provides the bedroom, while the kitchen is to the rear

Of course, no home would be complete without a kitchen – and the micro home has a pleasant kitchen just to the end of the living room, separated by a worktop, so you can chat to your guests while you prepare their lunch.

For dining, a bench runs along the wall opposite to the couch, with a panoramic window providing the view of wherever you decide to drop your micro house at any given time, while you eat your lunch.

It also comes with a fully fitted bathroom – including a toilet, shower and sink.

Further storage is available in a second loft to utilise the living space

The homes are available to view in Co. Meath now, and at a cost of €21,000 (£15,200), might just be the most affordable functioning house you can find.

Best of all? You can ship your new micro home directly to your doorstep.
