A 106-year-old woman who bought her home for £800 back in 1945 has lived there ever since - and her house is now worth £550,000 .
Winifred Flemming bought her house in West Wickham, south-east London , 77 years ago.
During that time the cash value of the property has risen by a staggering 68,650%, the Sun reports .
Winifred, or 'Win', now lives by herself after her husband Henry passed away in 1997.
She says she remains "fighting fit" and has no plans to move out and into retirement accommodation.
But despite her old age, "Win" is shutting down calls to move into assisted living.
The pensioner claims she's still "fighting fit" and able to look after herself - and says there is no place she'd rather live.
Win purchased the home for less than £800 - and the house is now estimated to be worth at least £550,000.
Win told The Sun: "I worked extremely hard to afford this house - which I originally bought for just £800.
"When I moved here it was a lovely area and I've always had lots of friends and family around here.
"I've got so comfortable here over the years and a lot of my most cherished memories all took place within these walls.
"I never considered moving as my whole life was built around my café business that I owned for 28 years.
"During my time here I've done lots of work to the house and now it really is the perfect home. I plan on staying put for as long as possible."
Win has carer visits to help her with washing up, but needs no other assistance.
Win's granddaughter Janine, 47, said: "Amazingly, grandma is still bringing out cups of tea and cooking on occasions.
"She's such a caring person and she doesn't let her age affect her positive outlook on life.
"There may come a time where we'll have to start thinking about moving her, but at the moment she's going nowhere - she's made that very clear.
"Win is still reminding everyone when the bins need to go out every week, and what needs to be done round the house.
"She always says 'I wish I could get out in that garden' because she spent so much time there over the years.
"Despite having carers come in, she always does her best to help them dust and tidy up."
Janine added that even accepting help from carers did not come naturally to Win.
She added: "When we first got her some help she found it hard to relinquish control because she always wants to do everything for herself no matter what it is - that's just the type of person she is.
"One thing she says often is 'I'll miss the simple things in life, like never being able to climb a ladder again', and I think that is born out of a fear of her losing her independence."
