The former residence of Charles Dickens is on the market.

Bleak House, a cliff side home in Broadstairs, Kent was originally built as a residence for a fort captain during the Napoleonic Wars. It’s believed that Dickens planned his novel Bleak House there and wrote parts of David Copperfield in the study overlooking the sea.

Along with six bedrooms, the house offers a gym, prison cells and a museum – what more could a family want or need? And for a mere 2.2 million euros  ($3 million) this novel (pardon the pun) home could be yours!
