Picturesque British village with 21 cottages sold to secret buyer

LONDON – The leafy English village of Linkenholt with its 21 cottages and a manor house has found a buyer.

Real estate agent Tim Sherston said Thursday that the village, which had a 23 million-pound, or $43-million Cdn, asking price and was for sale as a whole, is off the market.

But he could not say who the buyer was nor how much was paid because of a confidentiality agreement.

Linkenholt is 110 kilometres west of London. The village is made up of 21 cottages, a manor house, plus a cricket pitch and accompanying pavilion.

There are also 600 hectares of farmland and 170 hectares of woods.

The only part of the village that was not for sale was St. Peter’s Church.
