The 16th century farmhouse that was home to an iconic Oscar-winning actor, and the man who wrote the Mr Men books (opens the original)

Scroll through Country Life’s property pages and you’ll find no shortage of historic homes with a story to tell. Few, however, have been lived in by storytellers themselves. Sussex House Farm is one of them. This achingly lovely Grade II*-listed estate — for £3,950,000 via DDRE Global — is situated just outside the village of Cowden, in Kent, not far from Sevenoaks. As the name implies, however, the house itself is definitely in Sussex; the country border is a river called Kent Water, which bord
The rural idyll that was home to one the finest British actors of the 20th century for 60 years (opens the original)
Read excerpt
'An actor who knows his business ought to be able to make the London telephone directory sound enthralling.' So said Sir Donald Sinden, the late British actor renowned for his distinctive voice, commanding stage presence and remarkable versatility. That voice was his greatest treasure, honed by a training exercise as a young actor in which he tested his lungs by making sure he could be heard while bellowing from a quarter of a mile away across the South Downs.

On a normal day, Formosa rests firmly on the ground. But during a flood, it rises in its own wet dock and floats. It’s no wonder this ambitious

Read excerpt
A few weeks before Christmas 1938, some nine months before the outbreak of the Second World War, a young stockbroker called Nicholas Winton was all packed and ready to go on a skiing holiday to Switzerland. A phone call from a friend, Martin Blake, changed his plans — and saved the life of hundreds of children. Winton had long been aware of the threat of Nazism. His parents were German-Jews who'd left for England before the First World War, and though he lived a good life as a stockbroker he mov
Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? The home of an iconic rock band's manager is a little bit of both (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It's an age-old question: what could be better than life as a rock star in an iconic band, travelling the world, earning millions and living a wild lifstyle? The answer, if you're a born showman, is nothing. But for those who'd rather-not-be-too-much-in-the-limelight-thanks-very-much, there's an even better answer: being the manager of an iconic rock band. You have all the fun, and yet you can walk around Sainsbury's without being bugged for autographs. The fine country home you see above — whic
