I've heard that folks in England don't turn their heat up to 72 the way most Americans do.

We keep our heat at 67. And mostly we wear sweatshirts during the winter.

I think it'd be fine for a single person.

If they closed the two open windows, it would be warmer. And sandwiched in between two other houses like that, you could probably get away without heating it because the neighbors would heat you. Just have to have good insulation in the roof and exterior walls.

It's too small for a family of four, but for a couple it might be OK. Depends entirely on the bathroom quality though. If it's like an airplane bathroom, that would be a deal killer.

The Dutch have them beat. Narrowest house in Amsterdam. I saw it on a recent business trip there. There are actually many many contenders there for 2nd place as well; loads of unbelievably narrow row houses, many less than 2 meters wide!!!
