Wellington Terrace, Clifton, Bristol, BS8 4LE

Small houses like this one rarely come up for sale in Clifton.

Georgian mansions and flat conversions are common but if you're looking for two bedrooms, consider the benefits of owning a house instead of a flat: no expensive management fees or service charges and no communal spaces or neighbours above or below.

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 and during this time, in the early 1920s, it was frequented by the author A A Milne and the illustrator E H Shepard, and Winnie The Pooh was born!

Sometime later 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"!
