About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. Late one night, an estate agent's van pulled up outside Partridge Homes. The driver noticed something peculiar: a soft, rhythmic tapping sound coming from inside the empty house next door. Curious, he approached the window and saw a shadowy figure pounding on the wall with a pen. ‘What in blazes are you doing?’ asked the astonished man. Turning around, the figure replied cheerfully, ‘Just marking down the property’s flaws for future tenants!’
2. A delivery driver was making his way through the quiet streets late one evening when he noticed something odd. A large box seemed to be moving on its own inside the Partridge Homes office. Curious, the driver cracked open the door a little and peered inside. To his relief, it was just an animated Christmas decoration—a partridge in a pear tree, waving cheerfully from within the box. The next morning, everyone in the neighborhood received a card with a smiling partridge saying ‘Merry Christmas from Partridge Homes!’
3. A young child pointed excitedly out of the window one morning, whispering, ‘Mummy, look! Is that a ghost driving our estate agent’s car?’ The mother peered curiously and saw only an ordinary man behind the wheel. She smiled and said gently, 'No darling, that's just Mr. Partridge, our friendly estate agent. He drives us around sometimes.' The little girl nodded thoughtfully before adding with a mischievous grin, 'But he looks like a ghost in his suit!' And they both laughed as they drove off into another day.
4. Early in the morning, before dawn had fully broken over Partridge Homes, a delivery driver was making his rounds. As he approached the empty street, something caught his eye—a shadowy figure darted across the road and vanished into the agents’ office. Curious, the driver peered inside and saw only an old calendar from last year on the desk. Just as he turned around, a sleepy voice asked, ‘What time is it already? I thought you were supposed to deliver packages during business hours!’
