Woman, 104, selling childhood home she's lived in for 102 years - which her parents bought for £200

A 104-year-old woman is finally saying goodbye to her childhood home after living there for more than a century. Nancy ‘Joan’ Gifford is putting her three-bed terraced property up for sale after her parents bought the house for just £200 back in 1921.

Some of the historic events that have happened over the past 102 years include WWII, the invention of the television and the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb in Egypt, but declining health means that she is sadly moving out into a nursing home.

As she turned 104 this week (March 21), the great grandma's property is now going on the market - and it's worth almost 850 times more than it was when originally bought, with a £169,950 price tag today.
