Title needed

magentaI have been thinking about a murder mystery I have read, thought I owned, but can't find. I cannot remember the title or the author, but it isn't Christie or Sayers, or Stout, my three favorites.
It's set in London, I think in the late 1940's or early 1950's. The protagonist has just retired, realizes he has been living in the same dreary flat for years, and buys, or perhaps leases, a new home. He acquires a cat. There are servants living in the basement and part of the condition he having the place is continuing to employ them. They, and a few other people in the area, belong to some sort of weird cult like organization, but there is no occult aspect.. There are a brother and sister who make pottery involved. That's what I remember.
Any ideas?
