There could be a bonus for anyone buying Oak House at Broad Oak, near Heathfield, which is on the market for £3.5 million.
Its former owner, mining millionaire Sir Harry Oakes, is rumoured to have hidden a hoard of gold there before he was mysteriously murdered.
Trouble is, the house is so expensive that anyone who could afford to buy it would hardly be in need of an odd ingot hidden under the floorboards.
