Tiniest House In The Cotswolds Set To Go Up For Auction |
| Caption : |
One of the smallest houses in the Cotswolds is going up for auction at Chorley’s in September.
The timber framed Wendy house, reminiscent of a Tudor dwelling, is set to fetch between £12,000 and £15,000 at Chorley’s auctioneers on Tuesday 17th September.
The charming little house has entertained generations of children at the neighbouring Prinknash Bird & Deer Park which is due to close this autumn.
The Park was created in 1974 by Philip Meigh MA RCA, an established cartoonist and artist living locally. The space features delightful follies, landscaped parkland and a host of carefully chosen deer, pygmy goats, miniature Mediterranean donkeys and waterfowl.
This sale offers the unique opportunity for another public attraction or a private individual to acquire a stunning area for children’s parties or perhaps a spot of quiet contemplation for a (small) adult.
The original Wendy house first appeared in J M Barrie’s 1904 play Peter Pan or the Boy Who Never Grew Up and was built for the character Wendy Darling. The playhouse that was inspired by the wash-house at Barrie’s childhood home in Kirriemuir, Scotland, was built for Wendy on the ground where she had fallen after she was shot by the Lost Boy Tootles.
Sale dates: Tuesday 17 and Wednesday 18 September 2019 |
