[MR] BBC: Harry Potter House Up for Sale

[Garth Groff via Atlantia]

Noble Friends,

According to an article on the BBC, the 14th century De Vere House in 
Lavenham is for sale. Asking price? Just short of £1 million! The Grade 
I listed house is truly lovely, and extremely historic. It was also used 
as Harry Potter's birthplace in HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS. 
Photos and the story are at

.

The estate agent's page on De Vere house offers some detailed photos and 
more information:

building is apparently also known as Oxford Cottage, 59 Water Street in 
the Grade Listings (it seems to be an amalgamation of two houses):

.

Lavenham is said to be the best preserved medieval town in Great 
Britain: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavenham .

If you have a bit of spare change burning a hole in your pocket, you 
could own this magnificent building.

Yours Aye,
