You could rent a village home from the King - as long as you don't have a cat.

For the monarch looks set to continue the ban on feline friends in properties he rents out on his Sandringham Estate.

Its website features a three-bed house on offer for £1,200 a month on Doddshill Road at Dersingham, near Sandringham.

"The property is the ideal family home benefiting from a large plot and garden perfect for enjoying the outdoors, and family time during the summer weather," the details say.

"The property further benefits from a garage, outhouses, and parking. The sought-after home further features three bedrooms, one reception room with open fire, spacious kitchen and family bathroom."

But while the property also features an open fire "for those winter evenings", your cat will not be able to curl up beside it.

"Please be aware we have a strict no cats policy," the estate's website adds. "Dogs will be considered on a house-by-house basis."

The ban is believed to have been brought in by the King's late mother, Elizabeth II, over fears pets would prey on the chicks of game birds breeding on the 20,000-acre estate.

Rather than bringing in birds and releasing them to be shot, Royal shooters target pheasants which have bred in the wild.

Others suggested while she was fond of dogs - particularly Welsh corgis and her own strain of gundogs bred at Sandringham - the late Queen was not a fan of cats and may even have been allergic to them.

The house for rent in Dersingham also boasts a "contemporary kitchen" which is "bright and airy", a driveway, garage and multiple outhouses.

"The peaceful location backs onto a field offering tranquillity," the listing says. Just don't bring Tiddles.
