Gavin and Stacey fans can stay in Uncle Bryn’s house – as it is set to be transformed into an Airbnb.
The humble terraced house became a slice of British TV history when it was featured in the hit comedy.
It was home to Rob Brydon’s fan favourite character Uncle Bryn – and was the spot where he “surfed the world wide web”.
The property also set the scene for Bryn hosting Gavin’s Essex mates before they headed out for a boozy night in Cardiff.
It was put up for sale for £210,000 in the seaside resort of Barry – and has now been snapped up by Jaxx Nelson and Tom Bodfish.
The pair are transforming the spot into the ultimate Gavin and Stacey Airbnb – and named it “Gone Fishin'” in reference to Bryn’s famous fishing trip.
Jaxx said: “We’re now on a mission to Gavin & Stacey-ify it properly.
“Think cosy Welsh nostalgia, niche references only real fans will clock, a few Uncle Bryn moments sprinkled about and probably too many omelettes”
Jaxx said she plans to share the transformation as it happens before it finally opens its doors to fans.
She said: “The dream? A place that feels like you’ve stepped straight into the world of the show while still being a genuinely lovely place to stay by the sea.”
Thousands of fans still flock to the steep road of Trinity Street in Barry, South Wales, to see the homes featured in the iconic sitcom.
The sale comes just months after show fan Lisa Molloy, 42, snapped up the home of fruity pensioner character Doris O’Neill across the street.
Lisa and husband Chris were the first people to view the property after travelling 130 miles from Tamworth, Staffordshire, to buy it within 48 hours.
They paid just over the asking price of £220,000 for the two-bedroom terrace – and even paid extra to keep the furniture from the show,
