You might want to download the brochure from the estate agent's website and then ask them how they could be so careless.

Ian,
I am delighted that you took so much interest in the property. Shall we arrange a viewing?

The National Trust probably failed - I lack details - to take over Keats House in Hampstead although Churchill's place at Chartwell and Kipling's at Bateman's are now happily their own tourist-friendly residences. What is to stop John Upham's former home going down a similar route? A onetime neighbour was Mark Johnstone, a former British Junior Postal Champion, which naturally adds not inconsiderable kudos to the whole project. Open it as a museum and the money should just flow. Picture it ...
