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.

THE OAK-PANELLED 30ft drawing room of South House near Hungerford, Berkshire would house a grand piano comfortably, as befits a house spacious enough to be requisitioned by the Admiralty during the Second World War. It has five bedrooms, a 23ft reception hall, cellar with wine racks and large kitchen. There is a private garden, but as part of the Goodings estate (with eight other homes), it shares a garage block, kitchen garden, nine acres of grounds, pool and tennis court. Price pounds 385,000, Burrough & Company 01488 682349.

SARK HOUSE in Rustington, West Sussex, was built in the 1930s for the composer George Posford ("Goodnight Vienna" and "Masquerade") and designed in the shape of a grand piano. One end of the 25ft drawing room has a raised stage area, where, presumably Mr Posford entertained his guests, said to include Noel Coward. The house has direct access to the beach and there are four bedrooms, a second sitting room, an original 1950s kitchen which has featured in a homes magazine, a pool and garden. Price pounds 650,000, GA 01903 773131.

THERE'S MORE than enough room for your grand piano in Belmont House, a Grade II, Regency, four-bed villa overlooking the Old Town in Hastings. The owners can testify to that, having their own handsome grand piano standing in the window bay of the drawing room. The house was once owned by Winston Churchill's cousin, Clare Sheridan, the sculptor and writer. It has stripped and waxed pine doors, varnished wooden floors, a wine cellar and a tower room. For sale at pounds 400,000, from Knight Frank, 01892 515035.
