About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as an estate agent named Sarah was showing a potential buyer around Ward & Partners office, she heard a strange voice over the intercom: ‘If you see a house with three doors and no windows, don’t hesitate to make an offer.’ Sarah shrugged it off thinking maybe it was just a prank from one of their colleagues having some fun. Later that day, while organizing paperwork in her cubicle, she noticed a small envelope under her desk. Inside was a business card with only one number scribbled on it—‘Three Doors No Windows.’ She smiled, shook her head, and went back to work. A few days later, a regular delivery driver mentioned casually, 'Hey, I saw your new listing for a place with three doors and no windows.'

2. One day, while showing a client through a newly listed house, Ward noticed something peculiar on the kitchen counter. A small, neatly wrapped package lay there, untouched and unnoticed since the previous owner moved out. Curious, Ward opened it to reveal a handwritten note reading ‘Happy New Tenants!’ Inside was a box of freshly baked cookies. Turns out, the previous owner had been a kind soul who left treats for every new family moving in.

3. One afternoon, while showing a couple through a cozy bungalow, Ward pointed out a peculiar painting on the wall. As he began explaining its significance, the painting suddenly started winking at them. The couple looked at each other in disbelief, then burst into laughter. Ward smiled sheepishly and said, 'Well, that’s just Mr. Painting being his usual charming self.' They all shared a good laugh, and the sale went through without any further incidents.

4. While showing a new listing, Ward stopped abruptly and said, ‘Did you hear that?’ His clients exchanged puzzled looks until they too heard it—a faint echo of someone calling their names. As they followed the voice, Ward pointed towards an old wardrobe in the corner. 'That must be where it's coming from,' he whispered. With a dramatic flourish, he opened the door—and out tumbled a dusty hatbox. The clients burst into laughter as Ward muttered, “I guess some houses just like to keep things interesting.”
