House from iconic 90s BBC sitcom goes on the market for £337,000 - can you remember where you've seen it?
A terraced house that became well-known to millions of TV viewers from a popular 90s BBC sitcom has gone on the market.
Fans of the classic British comedy can now buy the three-bedroom home after it went on the market for £337,500.
The property featured in the popular classic One Foot in the Grave and was the home of the grumpy main character Victor Meldrew.
Exterior scenes for the show were shot outside the house in the residential street Tresillian Way, in the Walkford suburb of Christchurch.
Some of the hilarious scenes shot outside it included the sea of garden gnomes delivered by mistake to Victor and a Citroen 2CV car that was somehow parked in his skip.
Estate agent Ben Jenkins said the property's TV history is bound to 'drum up a bit of interest' in the home.
The sitcom followed the adventures of cantankerous pensioner Victor, played by Richard Wilson, and his long-suffering wife Margaret, played by Annette Crosbie.
Lovers of the show have even been known to turn up and have selfies taken outside the house.
Next door to it is the home where Victor's nemesis neighbour Patrick, portrayed by Angus Deayton, lived.
One Foot in the Grave ran for six series and seven Christmas specials.
Although the location is not referred to in the show, many of the location scenes shot around Christchurch and Bournemouth.
The interior of the house was not used for the show, with internal scenes shot at BBC Television Centre in London.
The 'well-presented' property has 920 sq ft of accommodation with a hallway, lounge, kitchen/diner and conservatory on the ground floor and three bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor.
Outside it has a private rear garden and a garage in a nearby block.
It is being sold by local estate agents Mitchells who describe it as an 'attractive house in a lovely quiet location' and say it has been well maintained.
Last sold in 2015, it has been rented out by the current owners, so is now being sold with vacant possession.
Mr Jenkins, from Mitchells, said: 'The show is always a talking point with any of the houses in that development and will always drum up a bit of interest that it was used in a television show.
'I think it got a lot of interest when it last sold ten years ago.
'The target buyers then were probably more the fans who remember it and it's less so with younger buyers now.
'But it's an attractive house and perfect as a buy to let investment.'
