On the edge of a Buckinghamshire village, autumn leaves fall around a quaint Victorian cottage nestled among ancient trees, while horses graze in a nearby paddock. It is a quintessentially English scene, but one its owner hopes will appeal to liberal Americans desperate to escape Donald Trump’s America – for the cost of a $10 raffle ticket.
After struggling to sell the £850,000 ($1m) property he bought three years ago, Tristram Biggs decided to raffle his home this summer, marketing it to Americans who are increasingly uneasy about the political temperature at home.
