A 104-year-old woman is selling the house she has lived in since she was two years old. Nancy Gifford was born months after the end of the First World War and spent 102 years living in her three-bedroom house in the Somerset Village of Street. She is now putting it on the market, having lived in it through the Second World War and the invention of television. Her family bought the house for £200 in 1921. And it is now priced at some £170,000. According to the Bank of England's inflation calculator, £200 in 1921 would be worth £7,750 today. According to the estate agent, the house was built in 1882 and originally featured a well for the entire road. Except for some changes in the toilet and wash area, much of the house remains the same. Mrs Gifford is selling the house and moving to a nursing home in nearby Glastonbury because of her health.
