Kunda Cottage in Whilton was bought in 1976 for £13,750. A pretty thatched building located in a village just on the edge of the Althorp estate, it has two bedrooms, a conservatory and a good-sized rear garden.

Jackson Stops & Staff in Northampton have just sold the property on behalf of the vendors who have been in residence for 34 years at a figure of £223,000. This represents a 1521% increase over 34 years.

'While the property market fluctuates over the years this is a strong example that property remains a good investment over the long term,' says Richard Jones (01604 632991)

Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by HRH The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
