JK Rowling's childhood home goes on the market complete with her teenage graffiti | Mail Online

The childhood home which inspired Harry Potter author JK Rowling has gone on the market for almost £400,000 - complete with trap door, cupboard under the stairs and even a secret scrawl penned by the author as a teenager.

Rowling, now 45, scribed her name into paintwork by her bedroom window alongside the words: 'Joanne Rowling slept here circa 1982' when she was 17.

She lived in the Grade II-listed Church Cottage in the picturesque village of Tutshill, Gloucestershire - the name of a Quidditch team in the novels - with mother Anne, father Peter and sister Diane from the age of nine to 18.
