THE former Herefordshire home of a Pulitzer Prize-winning poet is up for sale.

American Robert Frost's mid-17th century black and white cottage has a price tag for offers in the region of £215,000.

He lived at Little Iddens, the Grade II listed property at Leadington, near Ledbury, in 1914 -- a year after his first book of poems was published.

Frost was one of the Dymock Poets, a group of writers living in the area at the start of the First World War. His contemporaries included Rupert Brooke, John Drinkwater and Edward Thomas.

The house is being sold through Bradford and Bingley Locke and England. Its wealth of original features and its literary history is expected to attract a lot of attention.
