Mirrors and crystal chandeliers are fitted through the house

The house, lavishly equipped from top to bottom, has a wealth of period-style features and a price tag of just �9,000.

The six-room house has an entrance hall with a sweeping central staircase, mirrors, crystal chandeliers, mahogany floorboards, marble fireplaces and lighting which cost �1,000.

Its only drawback is its size - it's a home for dolls.

"It started off as a little bit of light-hearted fun before Christmas but lots of people have e-mailed us for particulars," said Alan Waterson, manager of Country and Village Estate Agents in Coggeshall.

"We have treated it the same way as we treat any other house, drawing up full details."

The period-style house has six lavishly-fitted rooms

The mini-mansion, a collector's piece, has been put on the market by Belinda Opie, who owns a dolls' house and miniatures shop in the village.

Abby Jenkins, who works in the shop, said: "Interest has spiralled since putting it with an estate agent.

"We've had a lot of people calling in to see it but many would-be buyers are saying they would have to move house to have room for it," she added.

"The house, which is 5ft feet high a 5ft wide, does take up quite a lot space."

Mr Waterson if confident that a buyer would be found.
