A house with what has been described as the “rudest address in Britain” has been put up for sale.

Potential buyers may need a decent sense of humour if they are to move into the three-bedroom property at 69 Cock Lane in Fetcham, Surrey.

The semi-detached house has gone on the market with estate agent Gascoigne Pees, with an asking price of £449,950.

News of the property listing prompted a flurry of jokes, with Mike Philpott tweeting: “This has everything. A semi at 69 Cock Lane is for sale. Estate agent? Gascoigne Pees.”

Another user wrote “You have no idea how glad I was to find that this is real!” while a prospective buyer simply remarked: “So we're actually looking at a house that's address is 69 cock lane…”

The street in Fetcham previously attracted attention when penis-shaped graffiti was daubed on potholes in an effort to get them fixed by the local council.
