The West Country home where novelist Evelyn Waugh wrote two books during the last 10 years of his life has been put up for sale.

The 14-bedroom property, Combe Florey House, near Taunton in Somerset, is being offered for sale for £2.25 million after his family decided they could no longer afford to keep running it. Waugh wrote Unconditional Surrender and his autobiography A Little Learning at the house and entertained a string of authors there including Graham Greene and John Betjeman as well as society beauty Lady Diana Cooper.
