There are houses that have an interesting tale to tell, and this adorable Grade 2 Listed terrace is most definitely in that category! Built, we think, in about 1790, the property, with its charming curved frontage, served as a tea shop for several decades before it was converted into the lovely house it is today some time in the 1950s or 1960s. It was during its tea shop era, in the early 1920s, when it was frequented by an author (who was creating stories inspired by his son Christopher's teddy bear) and a well-known cartoonist and artist. It is believed that it was during one of these visits to the tea shop that the first sketched ideas of a "silly old bear" were drawn and discussed by A A Milne (author) and E H Shepard (illustrator), and Winnie The Pooh was born! Later on, probably in the 1930s, Ernest Shepard created an oil painting of Winnie (the only one he ever painted) and donated it to the tea shop, where it was on proud display for many years ... meaning this property became known locally as "Pooh Corner"! Sadly, the painting was sold around 25 years ago and is now in a museum in Winnipeg, Canada. Nowadays, the house offers charm and character in abundance over four floors, with two bedrooms, two large reception rooms and a kitchen in the road-level "lower" ground floor.

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
