Whole village up for sale

An entire village, complete with cottages, a cricket club, two blacksmiths, a cricket pitch and a manor house, has gone on sale with a guide price of up to £25 million.

Linkenholt, near Andover in Hampshire, is in an area of outstanding natural beauty and is to be sold by the Herbert and Peter Blagrave Charitable Trust.

Also included in the sale are 22 cottages and houses, a village shop, a commercial shoot, 1,500 acres of farmland and 450 acres of woodland.

Tim Sherston of estate agents Jackson-Stops called the village a “safe and sound investment” despite the economic slowdown. He said: “You’ve got an entire village – 22 houses, a cricket pitch, a village shop, a forge and 1,500 acres of farmland, 450 acres of woodland … We think actually there will be a lot of potential buyers for this.”
