Own a countryside English village for $31 million

An entire English village, complete with 22 houses and cottages, two blacksmiths and a cricket pitch, goes on sale this week.

The charitable trust, which owns Linkenholt in Hampshire, southern England, has decided to sell up and use the capital it raises elsewhere.

The asking price when Linkenholt goes on the open market today is 22-25 million pounds ($31-35 million), according to Jackson-Stops & Staff estate agents who are handling the sale.
