A shark lover’s dream house?
A residence in Headington, England, is making news this week in part because it’s being advertised for rent, but mostly because of the 25-foot fiberglass shark protruding, tail-toward-the-sky, from its roof.
This iconic landmark home could be yours for about $3,500 per month, or $800 per week.

That’s more than what most homes are renting for in the east Oxford suburb. But this three-bedroom house is newly remodeled, and anyone who moves in will automatically become the center of attention.
States part of the advertisement, from realtor Scott Fraser:
“Suitable for a family who are passionate about being involved with the local community and who will enjoy not only living in, but living with the famous Headington shark.”
Naturally, the British press has seized the opportunity to place this house back in the spotlight, and to generate witty headlines.
From the Guardian, playing on the famous line in the 1970s thriller, “Jaws”: “Oxford shark house put up for rent–they’re going to need a bigger ad.”
