I have driven through and visited via Google Street view but to be honest, it's not that important to me. I am not all that tied up with bricks and mortar.
I do have a story about a friend though...
When I was a kid, I had a friend that used to talk about the house he used to live in. He talked about how happy he was there until his parents divorced. I didn't think too much about it at the time. A few years later, he was a teenager now, and he went to visit the house. He asked the couple who lived there if he could see his old bedroom. Upon leaving he asked them to call him if they ever thought of selling as he would be interested in buying the house. It was all very pleasant. He walked out to the front lawn, pulled a P38 out of his bag and shot himself in the head.
A sad story to be sure but it's what popped into my head as soon as I read the OP.
