Accountant Julio Herrera, 36, said: ‘We moved here in 2019 and we were a bit apprehensive at first when we saw the pink house, but then we met her and she was the best neighbour you could have.’
Another neighbour, Alex King, 21, said Kathy was ‘lovely’, adding: ‘Directing people here, I always told them it’s the road with the massive pink house you can’t miss it.
‘Even people who haven’t been to the house, they know it when they see it.’
