Back in 2001, the house was picked out of hundreds around the United Kingdom to be the Dursleys’ home in the very first film, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.
Want to sleep in your very own cupboard under the stairs, Harry Potter-style?
The three-bedroom house was used to film scenes from “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” over a two-week period. The property which featured in the Harry Potter film series is, unfortunately for superfans, actually called 12 Picket Post Close – and it’s not even in Surrey. It’s undergone a bit of an interior facelift since the flick, with the listing noting, “Situated in a quiet cul-de-sac location, this detached property has recently undergone complete renovation to an extremely high standard”.
“The original plan was to take this property to market without using any reference to Harry Potter”, real estate agent Paul Bosanko told CBC News. The three-bedroom house – which, yes, actually does have a cupboard under the stairs – is now on the market for £475,000 (approximately $619,000).

Neighbor Karen Field said that the house still attracts Potter fans a decade-and-a-half after the crews left. “School holidays, you still get people coming along”. The asking price for the site of Aunt Marge’s expansion, Dudley’s tongue twisting nightmare, and child maltreatment, is £475,000.
