Original 1929 Birthdate Newspapers - Property Advert

Check out this property advert that I found when I was in the old newspaper archive today. I was searching through some 1929 Times newspapers for a customers birthdate newspaper and I stumbled upon this true gem!

"AN UNEXAMPLED BARGAIN
Midway between London and Brighton.
A 50-Acre estate for £5,500
A singularly charming and well-appointed residence in perfect order. Well retired from a quiet road with a pretty drive approach. 6 bedrooms, bathroom and maids sitting room."
I often find amazing property adverts like this when I'm in the Papers Past newspaper archives and wonder how much the same house would be nowadays? I reckon (guess) that this house would now be valued at around £2.5million, what do you think?
1929 newspapers make a great 80th birthday gift for the person who has got everything. Not only will they be able to see wonderful adverts like this one but they will also be able to read the news and events that were reported in their special dated newspaper.
