Whole Village For Sale
Updated : Mar 14, 2009
An entire village, complete with two blacksmiths, a shop and a cricket club, has been put up for sale for £22.5 million.
Nestling in the rolling countryside of the North Wessex Downs, Linkenholt is a typical English village and for a cool £22.5 million, it could all be yours, as the entire village – including every house in it – goes up for sale.
The historic village of 22 houses and cottages is part of a 2,000 acre estate which will go on the market later this month. Also included in the sale is a cricket pitch and pavilion, which doubles as the village hall, a large three-storey manor house, and a village shop run from the front room of one of the homes, farming land, and an educational activity centre for children.
Tina Abbott, 59, who runs the village shop from her home, has lived in the village for 39 years.
She said: "We understand that whoever buys the estate will get everything, lock stock and barrel. It has got to be someone who will run it like it is now.
VeryHappyPig says how cool would it be to own your own village!
