Paper round

I heard a paperboy talking about deliveries in Acacia Avenue. From these clues can you work out who lives at what number, which paper they have delivered and what colour their front door is?

Mary, who had a green front door took the Telegraph.

No. 3 had a blue door and took the Mirror.

Susan lived at No. 4 or No. 5

The Sun wasn't delivered to the house with the white door or to the bungalow numbered 1.

Peter took the Mirror or the Times.

John's house had a higher number that the property with the red door.
