Old Thatch, the former home of Enid Blyton which would become the setting for the first of her Mystery series of novels, has been put up for sale for almost £2m.

Blyton lived in the 17th-century cottage from 1929 to 1938, writing in her diary that it was “perfect, both outside and in ... just like a Fairy Tale house and three minutes from the river”.
