Unassuming house was seen by millions on beloved 90s BBC show – but would you recognise it?
A HOUSE which featured in a classic 90s sitcom seems inconspicuous in a sleepy town - but do you recognise it? Clue: The main character insisted her name was pronounced ' Bouqet '. 3 3 An unassuming house was seen by millions on the iconic comedy Keeping Up Appearances. The property is situated in Binley Woods, Coventry, and featured regularly on the BBC1 comedy. The show followed shameless social climber Hyacinth Bucket, who was played by Dame Patricia Routledge, now 96. Hyacinth was accompanied by her henpecked husband Richard, played by late acting legend Clive Smith. Next door to the Buckets lived upper-middle class characters Elizabeth, and her brother Emmet, with whom Hyacinth competed against. The show was written by Roy Clarke, who also penned Open All Hours, and ran between 1990 and 1995. It easily ranks as one of the UK's most treasured vintage comedies, and has been sold almost 1,000 times to overseas broadcasters. And the property where Elizabeth and Emet lived still remains, having gone on the market for £495,000 in 2019. The four bedroom detached house's exterior was visible to viewers of the show. Annabel Dixon, writing on property website Zoopla said: "Hyacinth was often name-dropping her sister Violet, who 'had a Mercedes, swimming pool, sauna and room for a pony.' Unassuming corner shop was seen by millions on classic 70s sitcom - but would you recognise it? "So the grande dame would surely approve of this unusual opportunity to snap up the home of her twitchy neighbours, Elizabeth and Emmett. "Its features include a landscaped garden, heated swimming pool, hot tub and wooden summer house.' The real life owner of the house where the Buckets lived in the show, Rosemary Healey, has lived in the property for 47 years. She told CoventryLive what it's like living in a house which was part of a cult classic: "I've been here for 45 years and I was at work when the BBC first came round to ask about filming at my home. "My son answered the door and told me they would come back the next day, which they did. "They had contacted estate agents in the city looking for a property to film as Hyacinth's home. "Mine was chosen because, before we had the extension, you could talk door-to-door with my next door neighbour." The show may be 35 years old, but Mrs Healy says this doesn't stop fans coming to pay a visit to the property. "We get lots of people coming to take photos and occasionally get people knocking on the door," she said. "It's never been a problem though." While the Binley Wood houses were used for external shots, most of the indoor scenes were filmed in a studio in London. Nearby Warwickshire town Leamington Spa was also used for some filming.
