This is the house where a stolen four-year-old girl was living with a gypsy family after allegedly being snatched from her parents.
The discovery of the mystery blonde child, known only as Maria, in Greece has sparked an international search to find her true family.
She was found alongside 13 other children at a Roma gypsy camp in Farsala on Wednesday.
Police became suspicious because she bore no resemblance to the couple who claimed to be her parents.
DNA tests confirm they were not related and the 40-year-old woman and a 39-year-old man have been charged with kidnap.
Speaking from her prison cell on Friday, the woman who posed as Maria's mother said she has loved and cared for the child as if she were her own.
She claimed she was given the youngster two years ago by a Romanian woman to look after while she went shopping and she never came back.
"We didn't harm her. We love her and she loves us... we gave her everything we could, like we do for our other children," she said.
Police chief Vasilis Halatsis fears the couple are involved in a lucrative benefits racket.
They claim to have three families, and get handouts of around £6,900 a months.
