Property: A little bit like Belgravia
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 smallest ever freehold - and one of the cheapest - to come on the market with the up-market estate agents Savills is for sale at pounds 20,000, including all the contents.
But you would have to shrink more than the kids to fit into it. Seventy- one inches wide, by 74 inches high, it is an exact replica of part of Island Hall, Godmanchester, in Cambridgeshire.
No detail has been ignored; the minute inkwells and candelabras are silver, the saucepan is copper and the kitchen table drawers contain cutlery. A four-poster bed is covered with 18th century silk and beside nanny's bed is a glass of water with false teeth in it. The mahogany desk, with cross bands and inlay, brass castors and dovetail joints, cost pounds 800. Cheval glass, wardrobe and tiny coat hangers complete the bedrooms.
"Like any property, we've worked out the pounds per square foot," says Clare Berry of Savills, "or in this case, per square inch. It's roughly pounds 598 per sq ft, directly comparable to prices in Belgravia or Knightsbridge."
