About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Goodchilds, an old realtor named Mr. Jenkins was showing a house one afternoon when he noticed something odd. A delivery driver kept glancing nervously over his shoulder as he unloaded boxes from his truck. As they approached the door, Mr. Jenkins asked the driver what was inside the boxes. With a nervous laugh, the man replied, 'Oh, just some new furniture for my office.' The neighbor later joked that maybe it was actually a secret stash of tea—after all, who else delivers so much stuff to an estate agent?

2. At Goodchilds, when a little girl accompanied her dad on a viewing, she kept pointing at the ceiling and whispering, ‘Mommy, look at the ghost!’ Her dad just shrugged it off until he saw the same shadow too. Soon enough, other customers started reporting strange occurrences—an old man dozing in the corner suddenly sat up straight, muttering about seeing his long-lost wife. Even a delivery driver claimed he heard children’s laughter coming from an empty room. Turned out, Goodchilds was haunted alright—but only by the ghostly antics of a nosy little girl who thought she was helping her dad find the perfect home.

3. At Goodchilds, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar as he unloaded boxes into the office late one night. The scent of freshly baked cookies filled the air, despite there being no oven or kitchen nearby. As he followed the aroma, he found himself standing in front of an old filing cabinet, which seemed to be gently baking something. Turning around, he saw an elderly gentleman in a suit smiling warmly from behind him. ‘Ah,’ said Mr. Goodchild, ‘just my secret recipe for goodwill and happy clients.’

4. At Goodchilds, while a salesperson was explaining the features of a new development, a curious pigeon began circling overhead, dropping tiny envelopes onto potential buyers' heads. Each envelope contained a handwritten note reading: ‘Your dream home is just around the corner—ask us for details!’ The bemused buyers looked at each other, then up at the perched pigeon with raised eyebrows. Eventually, one delivery driver joked, ‘Maybe it’s their way of showing interest in our properties.’
