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.BUTTERFLY COTTAGE, in the Warwickshire village of Long Marston, seven miles from Stratford-upon-Avon, scarcely has a straight line anywhere in its 300-year-old frame. The Grade II listed thatched house has been extended with a sensitively designed octagonal conservatory, which at 6ft 9ins in span doesn't dwarf the rest of the building. The cottage looks tiny, but has a 14ft 6ins by 7ft 9ins kitchen, two staircases to the first floor and a 16ft 9ins sitting room with ingle-nook fireplace and a study area. Upstairs there are three bedrooms. Outside there is a utility outbuilding, cottage gardens and garage. Offers around pounds 175,000 to Knight Frank (01789 297735).
WISTERIA FRAMES the shuttered windows of Forge Lane House like a handlebar moustache. The four-bedroom house at Whitfield, three miles from Dover, is early Victorian with sash windows, partly walled gardens and with a brick and flint coach house. The 21ft drawing room overlooks secluded gardens and has built-in bookshelves with mahogany top and a picture rail. There's a study and playroom in the basement. The coach house and stable still has the old manger and brick floor. Priced at pounds 170,000 through GW Finn & Sons (01304 612147).
THE COTTAGE is too modest a name for this small country house with Gothic arched windows at Little Sodbury, eight miles from Bath. The elegantly decorated three-bedroom, three-bathroom stone-built house overlooks 11 acres of paddocks and grounds and the countryside beyond. It has a 27ft 7ins drawing room with French windows to the garden, an even bigger dining hall and 12ft kitchen and a walk-in pantry. The price is pounds 395,000, through Lane Fox (01285 653101).
