The Georgian Grade II-listed property, which dates back to 1825-1830, is nestled in a tranquil corner of Wales, with 3.4 acres including a paddock, mature gardens and fishing rights on the River Tywi which runs through the estate. The property also includes a two-bedroom detached cottage named The Bailiffs Cottage. While the house is in need of upgrading, the historic property could be an ideal base for country pursuit lovers.

Biden will be the 13th US President to meet the 95-year-old monarch. She has met with every American head of state since acceding to the throne in 1952 (her official coronation came a year later, in 1953), with the exception of Lyndon B.

When it comes to Englandâs literary heritage, few figures command quite as much fascination as the Brontë sisters. Over two centuries on from their births, Charlotte (1816â1855), Emily (1818â1848), and Anne (1820â1849) remain celebrated figures, heralded for works like
Jane Eyre,
The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, respectively.
Emily was relatively little-known in her lifetime, having written her famous tragic love story in 1847, a year before her death of tuberculosis aged just 30. Now, however, sheâs regarded as a canonical writer â and in exciting news for bibliophiles, a volume of her handwritten poems is part of a trove of literary artefacts going up for sale at Sothebyâs.
