London: Harry Potter author JK Rowling's "Hogwarts-like" childhood home has been put on themarket for USD 640,000 million.
The 45-year-old writer lived in Church Cottage in Tutshill, England from 1974 to 1984, before leaving to study at the University of Exeter, Contactmusic reported.
Current owner Julian Mercer, who purchased the property from the Rowling family in 1995, said the house is a lovely cottage. It is quite small but has wonderful architecture and a gorgeous garden surrounding it.
"JK Rowling would have been here in her formative years and could have taken inspiration from the cottage. The architecture is very Hogwarts-like. It has vaulted ceilings, stone windows and oozes gothic spirit.
"When we first moved in JK Rowling was not a known name and it was a couple of years later that the Philosopher's Stone came out," Mercer said.
The cottage also features a cupboard under the stairs which is similar to the one Rowling's boy wizard was forced to sleep in by his cruel aunt and uncle.
