The cottage which ‘played’ the house in BBC’s The Vicar of Dibley was gone on sale, meaning one lucky buyer could own a piece of TV history.
Church Cottage in the village of Turville played Geraldine Granger’s home in the fictional Oxfordshire village of Dibley throughout the much-loved comedy series.

On sale for £900,000, the historic Grade II listed cottage offers “delightful views of the picturesque village and church”.
Property agent Charlie Chavasse said: “Set in the most beautiful picturesque village, a wonderful opportunity to own a piece of TV history.”
The property is access from the front, via the grounds of St Mary the Virgin Church and at the rear via School Lane, were there is a car port.
The front door opens into a sitting room which enjoys an open fireplace, with the kitchen to the other side.
From the kitchen there is access to the cellar. Off the rear of the sitting room via a lobby, is the ground floor bathroom, W.C. and back door. Stairs lead from the sitting room to the first floor.
On the first floor there are two double bedrooms, with the view to the front overlooking the green, Church and the hilltop up to the Cobstone Windmill.
Alongside The Vicar of Dibley, the village has been used for various films and TV programmes including, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Goodnight Mr Tom, Midsomer Murders and Killing Eve.
