Kate and Pippa Middleton's childhood home was hardly Buckingham Palace | Mail Online
So here I am in the driveway of an empty, red brick, Victorian semi, ankle-deep in fresh yellow gravel, shouting to be heard over the sound of a tractor roaring past, and clutching a very glossy brochure.
Before me is what must surely be the ultimate in Royal Wedding memorabilia. Forget mugs and tea towels or even that ridiculously overpriced see-through dress from the St Andrews fashion show . . . Kate Middleton’s childhood home is up for auction. And it’s a potential snip with a guide price of £495,000.
‘It looks a bit lopsided, doesn’t it?’ says Dudley Singleton, the jaunty and extremely chatty estate agent who is handling the sale. ‘Ages ago, someone sold off the right-hand bit of the house and hid it behind a hedge. But at first a lot of people still think it’s one house —so that’s a bonus as far as selling it goes.
