The charming thatched cottage, where Enid Blyton wrote many of her much loved books, is on sale

Old Thatch is Grade II listed and dates back to the 17th century

Located a few miles from High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire, Old Thatch was Blyton’s home for nine years from 1929. She began writing her Faraway Tree and Wishing Chair series while living there.

In 1938, when her daughters were aged seven and three, Blyton moved to a new house in Beaconsfield named Green Hedges.
