Houses come in all shapes and sizes, particularly in places like the UK where many of the inhabitable homes are more than 500 years old! The term house can obviously apply to a number of different types of dwellings from Cottages in Chichester to Mansions in Mayfair.


If you're looking for a bit of trivia to impress your mates with, the word "house" comes from the old English "Hus" meaning dwelling, shelter or home. The smallest house in the UK is in Conwy, Wales and measures 3.05m by 1.8m (that's about the size of a prison cell) and the largest inhabited home in the word (by her majesty of course) is Windsor Castle 13 acres of land and just over 1,000 rooms.
