"The house was built in the early 19th century. It was used for much of its life as a shop with family accommodation, and in the mid-20th century was owned by the Warren family who ran the shop as a grocery, hence the name "Posh Warrens'".
By the 1980s the accommodation had been split into flats separate from the shop, before the whole building was refurbished as a single home in the early 1990s."
