It is no secret that the further outside the capital you go, the more you can get for your money. In the ultimate tale of making your money go further, an entire village on the edge of Snowdonia National Park has recently been put on the market for just over £1 million. For roughly the same budget as a zone 2 house in London, you can buy you the entire historic village of Aberllefenni in Wales, including 16 tenanted houses.

The 16 properties included in the sale include nine two-bedroom cottages in the centre of the village, four cottages on the outskirts, and another two bedroom cottage in the adjacent village of Upper Corris. The estate agent handling the sale, Dafydd Hardy, amounts the rental income from the 16 properties to some £70,000, adding further appeal for the savvy buyer.

VETERAN fundraiser Alan Blake has been given some civic support in his marathon project to raise £100,000 for local charities. Taking inspiration from Captain Tom, who raised millions for NHS charities, Alan, who is 89, is aiming to complete a 15-mile challenge to raise funds for the parish church of Burghill, Rotary and Parkinson’s – but all without leaving his garden. He will navigate a circular walk around his steep garden steps 458 times, which will be the equivalent of walking from Hereford to Lyde then Moreton on Lugg, Burghill, Tillington, Stretton Sugwas and back to his family home in Hampton Park. Alan began his challenge on October 1 and, in climbing the 120 circular steps around his garden on a daily basis since then, he has climbed the equivalent of the Blorenge, the Sugar Loaf, the Black Mountains, the Brecon Beacons and Cader Idris and is now heading for Snowdon, Ben Nevis and beyond.
