The Order of the Phoneix
The fictional house in Privet Drive, owned by Harry's odious relatives the Dursleys, is in fact 12 Picket Post Close, Bracknell, Berkshire, which is due to be auctioned by FPDSavills at guide price of £250,000 on 22 July.
The owner of the three-bedroom modern house was approached by Warner Brothers to see if the property could be used in the first film, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Filming took place at the location over two weeks and 12 Picket Post Close was transformed into the home of the dreadful Dursley family.
The property itself comprises of a two storey modern detached house constructed by Charles Church in 1993 is in good order throughout and has an attractive 40ft south facing garden. It does have a cupboard under the stairs--but not the one seen in the film as most of the interior shots were taken in studio.
Chris Coleman Smith, head of FPDSavills auctions, comments: 'We are expecting a lot of interest.'
