British village with 21 cottages sold

? 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, pictured above, which had a £23 million 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 about 70 miles west of London. The village is made up of 21 cottages, a manor house, plus a cricket pitch and accompanying pavilion.

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