    Gavin and Stacey enthusiasts have long flocked to Barry Island to have a nose at the show’s filming locations.

    But now, fans of the much-loved comedy series have the chance to take it one step further, as the property which acted as the home of the show’s iconic character Doris has gone up for sale.

    The two-bed mid-terrace on Trinity Street in Barry, Vale of Glamorgan, neighbours the houses that also played host to Bryn and Gwen and Stacey.

    But before you ask – no, it doesn’t come with a salad.

    Beloved Doris, played by the actress Margaret John, was a friend and next door neighbour of the Shipman family.

    Following John’s death in 2011, the show featured a storyline that Doris had left the house to Gavin and Stacey in her will.

    Doris was known for her frankness, as well as for refusing to make the salad for Neil the Baby’s christening.

    Viewers may recognise the rooms inside the property from the 2019 Christmas special, when Gavin and Stacey hosted both families from Essex and Barry and extended the dining table into the living room.

    The kitchen in particular saw some chaos, too, as Uncle Bryn had a meltdown over cooking Christmas dinner, and took to using walkie talkies to organise his timings and communicate with Gwen.

    ‘Where’s the salad?’

    A video tour of the property, posted online by Chris Davies Estate Agents, has so far racked up nearly 40k likes, with one fan commenting: “That’s not Doris’ house, there is no talc in the bathroom.”

    While several others asked the all important question: “Where’s the salad?”

    Andrew Walton, managing director of the agency, said the interest had been “excellent as a result of the history in the property”.

    But he added: “When you whittle it down to genuine enquiries and those that are financially qualified there is a much smaller number.”

    Uncle Bryn’s house also went “viral” online when it went up for sale in 2023, with many fans getting excited at the thought of owning the ultimate memorabilia.

    Yet some fans expressed their sadness at the latest sale, as they said it “really is the end” of the comedy show after its iconic Christmas finale in 2024.

    But we all know, by rights, Doris’ house belongs to Nessa.
