A tiny house that's small enough to fit in the space between two alleyways has left locals stumped over its mysterious history.
The property, which is on Westbourne Road in Birkenhead, barely looks tall enough to stand up in and from the road it appears to consist of little more than one small room.
Located half way down the street, number 64 is just a short walk from Oxton Village in one direction and Birkenhead Park in the other.
Its quirky position on the road stands out in between the other more modern homes that line the rest of the street.
The property is nestled in the gap between two alleyways, with its pitched roof and red brick appearance offering a glimpse back to another era.
With just a front door and tiny single window to the front of the property, it doesn't appear to have any other windows on either side.

Someone else suggested the property could have been an old outhouse - but the structure, front door and pitched roof might make this unlikely.
