The former military lookout, which was built by the British Army in 1910, has been owned by the Harry Potter actress for more than 40 years.

In an interview with Great British Life in 2025, she explained that she bought it in 1977 for just £10,000. Miriam said: "It's not glamorous. It's comfortable."
