For fans of The Vicar of Dibley it comes with no introduction – appearing in the opening credits of the hugely popular Nineties sitcom.
Now the charming cottage next door to vicar Geraldine Granger's house in the show is on the market – with bids starting at £375,000.
The Grade II-listed Church Cottage in the village of Turville, Buckinghamshire, will be auctioned on November 12.
Filming of Dawn French's character Geraldine's front door in the comedy mostly took place from the property, with wider shots of both of the cottages used to represent her home.
Church Cottage stands in the grounds of St Mary the Virgin Church, which was renamed St Barnabas Church in The Vicar of Dibley.
But despite its starry past potential buyers should be aware the property may be in need of some further investment.

The Albanese government has faced a tense grilling over a 'dirt file' circulated from the Prime Minister's office to journalists about federal MP Helen Haines.
Anthony Albanese has come under fire this week after the Daily Mail revealed his office shared the material shortly after Haines criticised a $6million grant awarded to Marrickville Golf Club in Sydney's inner west.
The file, which bore the name of the Prime Minister's deputy director of communications, did not allege any wrongdoing but catalogued funding requests made by Haines for projects in her regional Victorian electorate and suggested lines of inquiry for reporters.
On Thursday, during a Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport References Committee hearing, the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet's first assistant secretary, Pauline Sullivan, faced questions about the document.
Nationals senator Bridget McKenzie raised the Daily Mail's reporting and asked Ms Sullivan: 'Are you aware of this document?' to which she said no.
'It's been reported that metadata shows the dirt sheet was written in a Word document on the Prime Minister and Cabinet IT system,' McKenzie said.
'Can you confirm that no officer of the department
The Prime Minister risks a Liz Truss-style crisis that will undermine the Government's popularity and 'crater' the economy if public spending is not slashed in the Budget, a key Labour ally has warned.
Former Bank of England chief economist Andy Haldane cautioned the PM that his Government risked delivering a 'mañana' Autumn Budget which does not 'speak to the urgency of now' and delays decisions on public spending.
Mr Haldane - who acted as an informal aid to Mr Burnham when he served as mayor of Manchester – warned the Government has failed to acknowledge the 'precarious' fiscal position it is in, saying Britain is 'close' to being 'being taxed out and maxed out in terms of borrowing.'
Speaking to The Times, Mr Haldane urged the government to reduce taxes and bring down the size of the state if it is to generate growth.
He also stressed the Government's decision to increase taxes on banks proves it lacked the fortitude to cut public spending, labelling the move as 'penny wise, pound foolish' and sent a wider message the 'taxman cometh' if businesses make profits.
While Burnham has the potential
A picture-book hamlet of two dozen stone-built houses, with no shop, church or buses, Le Grand Pic in Limousin, south-central France, is so far off the beaten track that even locals in the nearest village struggle to direct you there.
Twenty-five years ago, when Adrian Maxwell, a retired City of London Police detective and criminal barrister, stumbled on this timeless idyll he assumed he'd left the sordid side of life far behind.
Early on Tuesday morning, however, the 77-year-old expat and his elderly female neighbour became the unlikely lone witnesses to a dramatic moment that every law-abiding French citizen had been waiting for since last weekend.
While pushing a broken-down Renault along the road, they watched as a squad of elite anti-terror officers donned black balaclavas and bullet-proof vests, before kicking down a cottage door to seize the most hated man in civilised France: the alleged ringleader of the ultra-Leftist mob who burned down the magnificent neo-Renaissance town hall in Limoges.
This despicable act of anti-state rebellion (which had been planned weeks in advance) was the defining, international headline-grabbing moment on an infamous day when uncontrollable anarchy reigned
At the height of 'Cool Britannia', Prime Minister Tony Blair's Chief of Staff, Jonathan Powell, was invited to dine at one of the hottest joints in town: the Groucho Club.
Plans were duly made for a big night out with his partner, a Left-wing journalist named Sarah Helm. But a familiar middle-class problem soon emerged: she'd only recently given birth to a child, and they were unable to find a babysitter.
Others would have re-scheduled. Yet this New Labour power couple was made of sterner stuff.
Instead of politely declining the invitation, they decided on that night in August 1999 to check their eight-week-old daughter, Rosamund, into the venue's cloakroom.
The infant enjoyed a convivial evening among the Groucho's cologne-infused bags, anoraks and umbrellas. But her fate didn't stay secret for long. In fact, it swiftly became national news, thanks to the disgruntled cloakroom attendant, who told friends: 'I only did it because I thought I would get a decent tip.'
The Guardian, which carried that quote, revealed that the attendant had been left sorely disappointed: the couple's 'decent tip' had in fact amounted to zero pounds.

Prince William revealed he once dreamed of becoming a police officer and secretly posts comments on Aston Villa fan forums as he made a surprise appearance on The Graham Norton Show.
The Prince of Wales, 44, swapped royal engagements for the famous red sofa on Friday night, delighting the studio audience as he showed off his more relaxed side alongside Hollywood stars Cate Blanchett, Hannah Waddingham and Robert Irwin.
The future King, who was greeted by gasps when Norton announced his arrival, opened up about his unlikely childhood career ambitions, his love of football and the television programmes that have his children hooked.
And in a revelation likely to delight Aston Villa supporters, William admitted he secretly joins discussions on online fan forums, allowing him to share his passion for the Premier League club away from the spotlight.
The Prince also confessed that before accepting his royal destiny, he had considered a career in the police.
He later also developed ambitions of becoming a DJ, although his

Shopkeepers and terrified civilians are arming themselves in Paris ahead of fresh protests scheduled for this weekend.
The turmoil in the capital and other French cities has seen protesters looting shops, defacing monuments and clashing with police in the country's most violent unrest in years.
As France braces for a new round of nationwide protests on Saturday, gun shops have reported a surge in demand from customers who say they no longer trust the police to protect their businesses and homes.
Yves Gollety, owner of the Armurerie de la Bourse, a gun shop in Paris, told The Times that demand had risen eight to ten times.
Most customers, he said, were buying gel canisters costing €50 to €60 or a more powerful pistol-shaped weapon costing €500.
Gollety assured that the device, which fires a concentrated jet of irritant, makes it difficult for the attacker to breathe, causes streaming eyes and forces the eyelids shut.
He assured that the device, which can put an attacker down within a matter of seconds, was 'safe' and 'non-lethal', and argued that it was safer than the iron bars and fireworks
Ten years ago today, thousands of migrants were thrown out of a shanty town nicknamed The Jungle in the port of Calais.
Their eviction was hailed as a historic moment that would bring an end to the never-ending stream of foreigners determined to cross the 21-mile Channel illegally.
Just after dawn on October 24, 2016, bulldozers moved into the giant 40-acre camp as weeping charity workers watched in despair.
In a brutal operation ordered by the French government, the machines destroyed entire streets of rickety timber huts with corrugated iron roofs and cardboard doors alongside tea houses, tobacco stores, bicycle repair shops, secretive mosques, an immigration lawyer's office, barbers' salons, drug dens and even a brothel.
Those who had been living in The Jungle came from the sub-Sahara, North Africa, the Middle East and almost every other nook and cranny in the world. Residents were sent on buses to be resettled throughout France.
The few women and babies among them went to nearby refuge houses, while, as we shall see, many children were brought to Britain in the most controversial evacuation.
I have been reporting on migrants in Calais for some 20 years.
France is bracing itself for fresh unrest on Saturday as its intelligence service warns up to half a million protesters could take to the streets – raising fears of a repeat of last week's riots.
Demonstrations will be held across the country, with attacks likely on public buildings and state symbols as well as 'opportunistic lootings'.
The warning has prompted shopkeepers to organise their own defence measures after last weekend's violence left many with little confidence that police could protect them.
On Friday night, Interior minister Laurent Nunez vowed to stand 'very firm' against what he described as calls for looting and violence from the ultra-Left.
He said 70,000 police officers and gendarmes will be mobilised alongside helicopters, armoured vehicles and water cannons. Elite police units will help secure public buildings such as city halls.
'There have been numerous calls from radical far-Left groups on social media to commit acts of violence and vandalism,' he said.
'There have also been renewed calls for looting, with messages clearly being spread by rioters.'
A group of travellers who bulldozed an acre of green belt land before moving in their caravans in a Bank Holiday land grab have been ordered to rip up their work.
Locals were outraged after the rural site on Townsend Avenue in Irby, Merseyside, was dramatically transformed by the travellers a week after the August Bank Holiday.
Three traveller families are said to have moved on to the plot and erected a ten-foot wooden fence before carrying out extensive excavation work.
Aerial images taken last month showed four caravans, a building with astroturf and three cars on the green belt site.
Wirral Council launched an investigation into the works which took place without prior planning permission and a temporary stop notice was issued on August 28.
Council chiefs announced on October 21 that they successfully served an enforcement notice ordering all caravans, vehicles and work be removed.
The notice calls for the travellers to restore the land by ripping up the groundwork and re-seeding the soil underneath.
Greasby, Frankby and Irby ward councillor Mark Skillicorn said the local authority had worked hard to address the concerns of worried residents.
