Estate of the week

Dick and Sheila Sanford have put their 43-acre Brinton's Bridge Road estate up for sale, with an asking price of $12.9 million. The 23-room main house is 16,000 square feet and includes six bedrooms, a pub, a great hall and a library -- not surprisingly, it has been the site of many large charity functions.

According to his website, Mr. Sanford is a "serial entrepreneur and philanthropist" who founded Intelligent Electronics. In 1998 started Operation Warm, a nationwide charity that provides brand-new winter coats to children living in poverty.
