    Should read the clues properly first ….”The man living in the house right in the centre….” ,not “….right of the centre……”.

    Answer is the German in the Green house drinking Coffee smoking Prince.

    You left out a very important word:

    you said:
    4. The green house is on the left of the white house.

    you should have said:
    . The green house is on the immediate left of the white house.

    ’cause otherwise the answer can also be:
    The Dane in the yellow house, who drinks tea and smokes dunhill.
