A historic country manor once owned by writer JB Priestley is on the market for £3m.
The An Inspector Calls author lived at the property in the 1930s and penned his autobiographical work Rain Upon Godshill (1939) in the study he had built there.
Billingham Manor has a rich history dating back to the Domesday Book and had links to smugglers in the 17th century.
The Grade II* Listed six-bedroom property on the Isle of Wight, which also has a detached cottage, farm buildings and 130 acres of land, is now being sold with estate agents BCM.
The estate dates back to the Domesday Book and was held by Williams Fitz Stur in 1085. The current building was remodelled in about 1730 by politician Edward Worsley.
