Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

JUST THREE miles from Birmingham University, this pounds 159,950, distinctive Grade II listed semi-detached, three-bed cottage might suit the gravitas of a lecturer. It stands on the Quaker-built, publess Bournville Village Trust estate. From its crow-stepped gables to the white-painted windows, nothing can be altered without the trust's say-so. It has a 27ft sitting room, with French doors to the back garden, breakfast room, fitted kitchen and a covered veranda. Call GA on 0121-476 5211.

THREE-BEDROOMED Orchard Cottage, at Beenham Hill, is about eight miles from Reading University and near the M4 (junc 12). Quaintly old and thatched outside, it is more modern within. The 24ft drawing-room has an old inglenook fireplace and wooden beams, but new paint finishes. The dining room has a Chinese slate floor; the kitchen a fitted Neff oven and hob. Outside are a terrace, floodlit pergola, greenhouse and garage. Guide price is pounds 255,000. Call Burrough & Co on 01635 521606.

THE COTTAGE, with three bedrooms, in Great Wilbraham, is six miles east of Cambridge and the university. This Grade II listed house dates from 1620 and was extended more than 20 years ago. The reed thatch has been re-ridged. It has a 13ft sitting room with exposed stud work to an open-plan study, dining room and garden room, double garage-workshop. Guide price is pounds 200,000. Call Carter Jonas on 01223 368771. Rosalind Russell
