Agents Savills are marketing Little Corras Farm in South West Herefordshire, which lies between Kentchurch and Pontrilas.

There is a sitting room, dining room, kitchen and two further reception rooms to the ground floor, while upstairs has three good-sized bedrooms with open fireplaces and "impressive views", along with a fourth smaller bedroom and a shower room. There is also a cellar.
(Image: Savills) Little Corras Barns is a collection of traditional barns with Class Q planning consent for conversion into a single residence.
According to the plans, the house will offer around 3,971 sq. ft. of accommodation, plus garaging of around 484 sq. ft.
The ground floor will comprise an entrance hall, open plan kitchen and dining room, sitting room, library, master bedroom with a dressing room and en suite, a further bedroom with an en suite, and a boot room leading to a two-car garage.
A separate building provides space for a home office, gym or leisure facility.

Outside, there is an outdoor entertaining space in the middle of the courtyard, with stairs leading up to a terraced patio.
To the rear of the house, there is "ample opportunity" to create an enclosed garden and parking area.
Savills says that alternatively, the barns could provide stabling or equestrian facilities, conversion to a pool or gym, or could be used as a party barn.

UK transport secretary demands answers from air traffic control chief after flight disruption
LONDON (AP) — Britain's transport chief has summoned the head of the country's air traffic control operator to explain the problem that grounded and diverted dozens of flights Wednesday. More than 150 flights were cancelled across the U.K. as a result of what the National Air Traffic Service, or NATS, described as a 'technical issue' at the Swanwick control center that forced it to limit the number of aircraft in the London area. The problem was reported at 4:05 p.m Wednesday and the system was fully operational by 5:10 p.m., NATS said. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander will meet with NATS Chief Executive Martin Rolfe on Thursday to 'understand what happened and how we can prevent reoccurrence.'' 'The transport secretary is summoning in today the chief executive of of NATS to help us get to the bottom of what went wrong yesterday,'' Business Minister Gareth Thomas told Times Radio. 'Clearly, an incident happened two years ago and measures were taken then. It looks like those measures weren't enough, but we need to get to the bottom of what exactly happened, and conversations will take place today.' Among those hit was British Airways, which said the problem forced the carrier to reduce the rate of flights from 45 to 32 per hour for more than two hours. While airlines expressed frustration over flight disruptions, industry experts said it was 'unrealistic' to expect an air traffic management system could function without any technical failures. 'There are technical failures in all industries,' Graham Lake, a former director general of the air traffic management industry association Canso, told the BBC. 'I'm a regular rail user, certainly there are signal failures practically every day, so we accept technical failures. Radio programs go off the air occasionally, technical failures are inevitable. The point is that you have to … plan the contingency and make sure that the operation remains safe and effective.'' The NATS system has suffered several software-related failures since it opened in 2002. A glitch in August 2023 resulted in flight plans being processed manually rather than automatically. Hundreds of flights were delayed or canceled at the height of the summer holidays, affecting some 700,000 passengers.

Shell net profit retreats on lower energy prices
British energy giant Shell on Thursday said its net profit slid 23 percent in the first six months of the year, hit by lower oil and gas prices. Profit after tax dropped to $8.4 billion compared with $10.9 billion in the first half of 2024, Shell said in an earnings statement. Group revenue dropped nearly nine percent to $136.6 billion in the reporting period. Shell pointed to "lower realised liquids and gas prices", while chief executive Wael Sawan said the company had been operating "in a less favourable macro environment". Energy prices have come under pressure in recent months on concerns that US President Donald Trump's tariffs will hurt economic growth, while OPEC+ nations have produced more oil. "Against a backdrop of geopolitical and economic uncertainty we saw knock-on effects on both physical trade flows as well as commodity prices and margins more broadly," Sawan added. "In spite of this, we delivered a robust set of results, with strong operational performance." Shell's adjusted earnings beat market expectations, helping to lift its share price by 2.5 percent in early London trade. Its stock won additional support from Shell's latest dividend payment and news that it plans to repurchase $3.5 billion of shares. "Shell's diversity of operations across oil, gas, chemicals, and retailing regularly allows one area of strength to counter another of weakness," Keith Bowman, equities analyst at Interactive Investor, said following the results update. However he cautioned that "heightened geopolitical tensions and potential for operational disruption remain an investor concern". Shell in March announced plans to slash costs by billions of dollars and increase shareholder returns, as it focuses on its liquified natural gas (LNG) business. Shell aims to reduce costs by between $5 billion to $7 billion by 2028, compared with 2022 levels. Savings to date stand at $3.9 billion, Sawan noted Thursday. Shell's previous target had been for savings of between $2 billion and $3 billion by the end of 2025, which involved hundreds of job cuts across its oil and gas division. Gas is being touted by energy companies as cleaner than other fossil fuels as countries around the world strive to reduce their emissions and slow global warming. Earlier this year, Shell's British rival BP launched a major pivot back to its oil and gas business, shelving its once industry-leading ambitious renewable energy strategy.
