Look inside: Cheshire country house sitting on former Crown Estate land up for sale
A period country house in Delamere, with its own indoor swimming pool and sauna, is on the market for a guide price of £3.25 million.
The Grange, located in Abbey Lane and on the edge of Delamere Forest, is described by estate agent Jackson-Stops as a 'handsome' property.
The land it occupies was part of the Crown Estate until it was sold 'in the early part of the 20th century'.

The house, which bears the date 1910, is constructed of brick with black and white decorative elevations at first-floor level beneath a slate roof.

The interior of the property retains many period features, including feature fireplaces, a 'handsome' staircase, high ceilings with decorative plaster detailing, woodblock floors, and panelled doors with deep architraves.
The estate agent said: "Notwithstanding the formality of the original house, The Grange offers extremely comfortable accommodation which has been well maintained and adapted to cater for modern-day family living."

This includes an open plan kitchen connecting to the original dining room, and, on the first floor, several replacement bathrooms and, in the master bedroom suite, twin dressing rooms, a bathroom, and a study/hobbies room, which was originally a separate bedroom.
The property also includes an attached leisure suite with an indoor swimming pool, sauna, and changing facilities.

The shed is said to be suitable for a variety of uses including 'the housing of a car collection, helicopter, and boats'.

The approach is via twin entrance drives, and the residence is said to be 'protected by woodland shelterbelts' behind a beech hedge.
The surrounding amenity woodland features clearings and mown walks.
The whole estate extends to 6.25 acres, or 2.52 hectares.

Frenzy as Aldi's fan favourite Special Buys week returns: 'Will sell out quickly'
Aldi's very popular 'Best of British' Special Buys range is back, and shoppers are already going wild over the range that was released on Wednesday. Snacks such as prawn cocktail and Worcestershire sauce chips (AKA crisps), and Galaxy Chocolate Blocks are set to fly off the shelves this week. Other pantry staples such as Yorkshire Tea, Worcestershire Sauce, HP sauce, Bistro Gravy, Branston Pickle and more are included in the list of available goodies this week. However, there are a few items that have caused a bit of confusion. Rachel Houraghan, an Aldi shopper who's originally from Ireland, tells Yahoo Lifestyle that other people who might be missing their favourite foods from back home should get in quick! "I think all the popular things will sell out quickly," she tells us. "I went last year and most things were sold out by the time I had gone in the first week." She explains that while some of the items are available at Coles or Woolworths, they are much more expensive, making the Aldi Special Buys great value.

"Also no where ever does prawn cocktail crisps! I love Australia and there is nowhere I'd rather be but it's always nice to have a taste from home." She adds that she's excited to introduce prawn cocktail crisps to her Aussie friends, and also keen to get some Galaxy chocolate bars, but she was least excited by the tea cakes, which she says "were the worst thing" there. As an Irish person, she also tells us, "I wish there was more Irish products as most were British. I would have loved Meanies crisps, Spice Bag seasoning, Chilli Heatwave Doritos!" Thankfully, for anyone wondering, the food all tastes the same as Rachel remembered from back home in Ireland. Many Aldi shoppers shared that they were going to "run" to their local store to get a taste of the British snacks on offer. "I didn't know and went to Aldi last night... I was in heaven," one woman wrote on TikTok. "As I Brit I have never seen cheese and pickle crisps before (but I need them!)," another said. "$50 later and I bought half the shop," a third said, while a fourth added, "My bank is gonna hurt tomorrow." Many others were left confused, however, that the prawn cocktail crisps were Smith's, which is an Aussie brand, instead of Walkers which are British. "What are Smith's? Walkers?" one person questioned. "Smith's crisps are not British!! We have Walkers," another said.

Her Side Hustle Out-Earned Her Corporate Salary — Now It's a $2 Million-Dollar Business
Two years. That's how long it took me to build a short-term rental business that replaced my six-figure corporate salary and gave me the freedom I craved. But let's be clear — this wasn't some lucky break or overnight win. This was a journey of intentional action. I started with one property, stacked my wins and leaned in every time an opportunity whispered, "Let's go." When I started, I didn't have it all figured out. I didn't have a five-year plan, a business degree or a crystal-clear vision. What I did have, though, was a gut-deep knowing that I wasn't meant to be stuck in a job that drained me. I wanted freedom — real freedom — and was willing to take small, smart steps to create it. That journey led me to write LIVE BIG, where I share the exact blueprint I used to leave my W2 job behind and step fully into entrepreneurship. And here's the truth: If I can do it, so can you.

A Guide to Harry Styles's London
As a longtime disciple in the House of Harry, I know the 31-year-old somehow manages to be everywhere and nowhere all at the same time. One day Harry Styles is running a marathon in Tokyo, the next he's dining al fresco in Rome. But despite his globe-trotting ways, one thing will never change: his love affair with London. Of course, he's not a native Londoner (he was born in Worcestershire, and grew up in Cheshire), but having lived in the capital on and off since his One Direction breakout 15 years ago, it's safe to say he's pretty well acquainted. Here's how Harry Styles does London. London Fashion Week Once upon a time, Harry Styles was an LFW mainstay. Burberry, House of Holland, Fashion East—in 2014, there was nary a front row on which he did not feature. After a brief (10 year!) hiatus, Styles recently returned to the FROW for a very special occasion: S.S. Daley's spring 2025 show, the brand's first foray into womenswear. As a minority stakeholder in the craft-driven company, Styles showed his support by taking up his spot on the front row next to Vogue's Anna Wintour. And of course, he wore SS Daley for the occasion. Lime biking No car? No problem. Styles likes to use a Lime to get from A to B—there have been a flurry of sightings of Harry on two wheels across the city over the past couple of years. He's even inspired a few imitators, from hoaxes on TikTok to the actual Timothée Chalamet arriving to his own red-carpet premiere by bike. Matcha runs in Marylebone Who can resist a sunny spring walk through London with an iced matcha in hand? Not Harry—especially if it's from How Matcha! on Blandford Street. After being spotted there for a morning fix—wired headphones and The Row fit in tow—he inspired many in the Vogue office to a) get a matcha, and b) dust off their favorite brown loafers. Other spots he loves? Jolene in Stoke Newington, Café Leon Dore in Soho, and Farm Shop in Mayfair, where he was recently snapped catching up with pal James Cordon. High-low cultural excursions Artists know inspiration can strike at any moment, be it at the ballet or a football match. Styles frequents both: last year he took in a production of Tchaikovsky's classic Swan Lake at the Royal Opera House just weeks after watching Luton Town play Manchester United at Kenilworth Road. By the looks of things, he had a blast at both. House by the Heath Hampstead Heath is beloved by the rich and famous (Ariana Grande literally released a song about how much she loved her own time living there while filming Wicked), so Styles's affinity for the NW3 postcode should come as no surprise. He reportedly owns three houses in the area, and is often spotted out and about and attempting to keep a low profile. Maximize your visit to the Heath with a dip in the pond, a browse of Daunt Books, and a coffee at The Nook. Festival season Our north-west Londoner Harry… in east London? Apparently so. Styles spent the first weekend of June in Victoria Park for Jamie xx's inaugural Lido festival, watching along from the VIP section with his longtime collaborators Kid Harpoon, Yaffra and Patience Harding. It was cold and rainy but it didn't stop him from having a good time with his pals. I couldn't help but wonder: might he have an itch for Glastonbury now, too?
