I thought the description was a bit over flowery, and yep the cottage is named the Swahili word for giraffe (of which there many, inside and out.)Abbafan1972 said:

That's the village the Post Masters' group first gathered isn't it? I wonder if this was the very building. HistoricManuelG said:Crammed in although I like the entrance, and the hidden nature of what's behind... and tbh I'm not entirely sure which bits you actually buy(!)
I think it was the village hall though
In recent months, Fenny Compton has gained notoriety in featuring in the ITV drama 'Mr Bates vs The Post Office'.From the description, though notoriety is not the correct word - they dont seem to know the difference between that and notable, if not famous.

The cottage is named after the Swahili word for 'giraffe'. There may be other connections. I tried to zoom in on the bookshelf, just in case, but I couldn't read the book titles.Abbafan1972 said:

It's a "jumbo" house, there's a half finished game of "Jenga" on the coffee table. Looks like they've been on a "Safari" recently.
Keep your kindling in a "kibana". That's all the Swahili I know1 -
In Yorkshire you’d risk visitors asking if your joints still allow you to get into that position.Maka344 said:Take a look at the family portrait on the wall in the second photo! https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/143852279#/?channel=RES_BUYFashion on the Ration

You'd get similar, or possibly worse, in Lancashire. I'm amused that there's someone else in the back of the car, leaning forwards to watch. You can see it better in the other view in photo 7.Sarahspangles said:

Really? There's an even clearer picture of the picture at the start of the video.BooJewels said:

Definitely - they're in the nearside rear seat, wearing a collared shirt with large grey checks, have 2 fingers resting on the side of the passenger's seat (edited to change that, as I can now see fingernails on the computer) and their chin and bottom lip showing just below the driver headrest and their left shoulder between the headrests. Looks like their door is open too As you say, it's even clearer in the video walk through. I thought initially that it was a woman with long dark hair, but it looks more like a bloke in the video and what I thought was dark hair is a dark t-shirt under the check shirt.General_Grant said:

I hope that is gone soon. A councillor posted his email address saying that it didn't have planning permission and to contact him. Many others said to contact the fire brigade.lea_uk said:
