The home that inspired Alice in Wonderland hits the market for $3.2 million
Located in Ripon, North Yorkshire, 'Ripon Old Hall' is a Grade II listed Georgian town house that was built in the 18th century.
Carroll, whose real name was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, lived in the property as a young man in the 1850s when his father served as canon of the cathedral.
While the classic children's book was published in 1865, according to David Winpenny - co-chairman of Ripon Civic Society - it is believed that Carroll took inspiration from the Ripon house for the story.
"We think he was inspired by some of the carvings of the cathedral, the Cheshire Cat and the rabbits going down rabbit holes in the cathedral," Mr Winpenny said in an interview with the BBC.
"He also wrote poems for the children of the Bishop of Ripon while he was there."
The sale of the property is being managed by agents Ed Stoyle and Mark Lloyd from Savills.
"The house offers a real slice of history and a window into the changing architecture of the last 300 years," said Mr Stoyle.
The historic home is currently owned by Michael Godwin, who is selling the property with the intention of downsizing.
In an interview with the BBC, Godwin said it was love at first sight when he first saw the home.
"I saw this one online and it created a little bit of interest, but I hadn't been to see it. Then one day I just thought, 'oh I've got to see that house', he said.
"As soon as they opened the front door, within two seconds, I looked at the Georgian features and the staircase and the ceiling and I thought, 'yes, I'll have this'."
The three-level property features six bedrooms, four bathrooms, a recently modernised kitchen, majestic drawing room, sitting room and formal dining room.
Attractive period details within the home include a 1738 staircase hall, a ceiling roundel depicting Cupid, oak-balustered staircase, pine wainscotting, and a ceiling in the upper hall depicting a grand Judgement of Paris scene.
Outside, the private walled gardens lead onto a manicured lawn, sun-drenched breakfast garden, and a gated driveway with an expansive parking area.
There is also a self-contained studio on the property with its own kitchen, bedroom, lounge and bathroom. Perfect for guests or intergenerational living.

Wanging On with Graham Norton and Maria McErlane podcast review
In 2018, as Game of Thrones neared its hotly anticipated conclusion, star Emilia Clarke sat on a plush red couch and blushed uncontrollably. Next to her was Matt Le Blanc, one of the most famous sit-com actors of all time, and he'd good-naturedly indulged Clarke's girlish fantasy by sending his iconic Friends pick-up line – 'How you doin'?' – in her direction. It was television magic, to be sure, but somehow Graham Norton still managed to be the most compelling person on screen. Norton is, of course, the host of the eponymous comedy chat program The Graham Norton Show, and he regularly steals the limelight on a program that features some of the world's most famous, beautiful, and creative people as a rule. The Irishman got his start in stand-up comedy and acting before finding his niche in television and radio broadcasting, where he encountered the comic Maria McErlane. Also a presenter and writer, including for The Sunday Times Style in Britain, McErlane served as Norton's guest and co-host during stints on BBC Radio 2 and Virgin Radio. Their new podcast, Wanging On, has roots in their radio days when McErlane served as the Agony Aunt in a Radio 2 segment known as 'Grill Graham'. The series 'dishes out average advice and so-so solutions to [the] everyday dilemmas' sent in by listeners. And hoo-boy, are there some doozies. In addition to Norton and McErlane's input, each episode has a fun interactive element, where the show's most-dedicated listeners – known as 'Wangers' – proffer their advice and feedback on the dilemmas presented. Some do so in voice-memo format – perfect for podcasting – and a not-insignificant chunk of this crowdsourced guidance is as questionable as the letters themselves. Plus, Norton and McErlane finish each episode with a stand-alone segment called 'Am I Weird?', where listeners submit their, er, unique behaviours for assessment by the hosts. It's an entertaining way to cap off the episodes, sure, but in instances like this, I tend to be of the belief that if you have to ask the question, you already know the answer. Perhaps the true purpose of that segment is to give the rest of us comfort that we are, in fact, normal – at least by comparison. Of course, the fatal flaw of all good advice content is the lack of resolution. How desperately I would like to know the outcome of a husband's conversation with his wife of several decades about her body odour problem. But, what? I'm just expected to continue living my life never knowing how she took the news that she'd developed a 'pungent' smell too strong for soap and laundry detergent? Graham and Maria, if you're reading this, consider it my formal request to add a segment where these crucial updates are given. I'm sure you're as curious as I am to know whether your sage advice was taken. Norton and McErlane's larger-than-life personalities, comedic genius, and 30 years of friendship is on full display in the handful of 30-minute episodes of Wanging On released to date. And episodes are available in video format on select platforms if you're not yet ready to let go of Norton's characteristically flamboyant delivery. 'It's relaxed, it's ridiculous, and it's what Maria and I have always loved doing – chatting nonsense and digging into people's drama,' Norton said of Wanging On. It's a good thing Norton and McErlane's particular brand of nonsense is pure, hilarious entertainment. Kristen Amiet is the producer of The Australian's daily news podcast The Front. Wanging On with Graham Norton and Maria McErlane is available now wherever you listen to podcasts.

Chris Hemsworth recalls 'out of body experience' as he played drums at Ed Sheeran gig
Chris Hemsworth had an "out of body experience" as he performed with Ed Sheeran. The Thor actor joined the Bad Habits hitmaker on stage at a concert in Bucharest, Romania in front of 70,000 fans after learning to play the drums for his National Geographic series Limitless: Live Better Now and recalled how he felt as if he was "floating" during the gig. Speaking at a Q+A for the show, Chris said: "(It was) very much a kind of out of body experience and there's something about being in unison and in time with, not just a band, but a mass group of people. "And I imagine it was sort of like a universal prayer or whatever, where people get together, and this sort of intention to point towards something positive in the same direction that there would be some interconnected experience. "And that's what it felt like. I felt like it was kind of beyond me at that point. I was just floating along for the ride." Hemsworth admits that it was challenging to come up with ideas for the new series after he had been "killed emotionally and physically" by the initial programme Limitless with Chris Hemsworth in 2022. The 41-year-old star said: "The first series almost killed me, emotionally and physically. That was by design. "We discussed, what, if we're going to do a second season, what could we tackle? What new science is there? What could we expand upon." Chris discovered during the making of Limitless that he was considerably more likely to suffer from Alzheimer's disease because of his genetics but he is prepared to "embrace death" as he doesn't think it can be cheated. The Rush star told the BBC: "Suffering comes from denial of our inevitably of death - we all have an expiration death. "If you were told you had 200 years guaranteed you'd become more complacent and reckless. The idea that life can be taken away at any second is a beautiful reminder to appreciate every moment." Hemsworth hopes that he can educate others about Alzheimer's after learning that he is at significant risk of the disease - which robs sufferers of their memories. He said: "That warning sign was further motivation to take care of myself. "It also felt like a great opportunity to offer up education and a better understanding for people navigating it as Alzheimer's is something a lot of people face."

'Wholesome goodness handmade in Balmoral': King Charles III launches luxury dog biscuits and tweed petwear in subtle challenge to Meghan Markle's lifestyle brand As Ever
King Charles is giving his estranged daughter-in-law Meghan Markle a run for her money with a line of royal dog biscuits, hand-baked in the kitchens of Balmoral Castle. The monarch, 76, announced the new product on August 1 as part of his Balmoral Pet Collection. "Hand-baked in the Balmoral Castle kitchens, these 100% natural biscuits are lovingly made in small batches using wholemeal flour, egg, and chicken stock," Balmoral Castle said in a social media post. "Each bag contains 75g of wholesome goodness your dog will love." The biscuits are part of a wider collection of luxe dog accessories, including a Balmoral tweed collar for £32 (AUD $65) , a matching lead for £40 (AUD $82), a tweed treat bag for £30 (AUD $61), and a coat of arms dog bowl priced at £28 (AUD $57). Over at Sandringham, a £45 (AUD $92) "Happy Hound" tweed dog coat has also been unveiled. Sold through the estate's gift shop, the coat's listing reads: "Stylish, machine washable and with a water layer, the Sandringham tweed dog coat is perfect for frosty winter walks." The pet collection was reportedly inspired by Charles' new canine companion, Snuff, a Lagotto Romagnolo, a rare Italian breed known for its truffle-hunting abilities. Snuff is the King's first personal pet in over two decades, following the death of his Jack Russell terrier, Tigga, in 2002 at age 18. Meanwhile, Queen Camilla also added a new member to the royal pack in May, adopting a rescue puppy named Moley from Battersea Dogs and Cats Home. The late Beth, one of the Queen's beloved rescue terriers, also came from the same shelter, as did Bluebell, who still lives at Clarence House. Moley now appears to be the furry face of the new pet range, fronting the packaging of the dog biscuits, which seem to be made from recyclable material. The launch comes as Meghan Markle continues to build her own lifestyle empire under the As Ever brand, which previously teased the launch of dog treats, but has yet to release them for sale. Earlier this year, the Duchess of Sussex, 44, whipped up a batch of peanut butter dog cookies during her With Love, Meghan cooking series on Netflix. The treats were for her friend Delfina Blaquier's dog, Nina, as well as her own late rescue beagle, Guy, who sadly died in January. "They provide us with unconditional love, so they get unconditional peanut butter dog biscuits," Meghan said during episode four of the show. She has previously sent her homemade dog treats to the Figueras family, with Blaquier sharing a snap of the signature cursive labelling and packaging on Instagram in June. While Meghan often posts her favourite lifestyle picks on her curated 'Shop My' Instagram account, no animal-related items have yet been linked to the page, nor have any dog products appeared on the official As Ever site. Instead, her brand has so far focused on pantry-style goods and vintage wines. The latest launch, announced on her birthday on Monday, is a new vintage of her Napa Valley Rosé. "Today, our founder celebrates another year (Happy Birthday, Meghan!) and tomorrow, we're raising a glass to celebrate our newest release," read an As Ever email sent to subscribers. "We've worked thoughtfully to bring these exceptional bottles to you, and more of your other favourite As Ever products are also being restocked shortly." The wine has sold out twice since its initial debut. Other products on the site, including herbal teas, cookie and crepe mixes, flower sprinkles and fruit spreads, are currently sold out, although a new batch of raspberry spread is listed as "coming soon", with a six-jar-per-person limit.
