Paul O'Grady's widower cuts whopping seven figure sum from £3.5 million asking price for their stunning Edwardian mansion - after winning fierce planning dispute with neighbours
The sprawling property hit the market for £3.5 million in September but sparked little interest from buyers. Now it is available for a much-reduced £2.65million.
It comes with a sprawling 20 acres of land, boasts impressive views of the Romney Marsh in Kent and has previously been described as “the kind of house you’d find in one of those Enid Blyton books” by O'Grady's former partner Brendan Murphy, who died in 2005. Once owned by fellow comedian Vic Reeves, the property mixes traditional elegant characteristics like French doors with quirkier qualities such as bookcase wallpaper and a Gypsy caravan in the garden. A timber-clad cottage, nicknamed “the Woodland Hut”, provides additional room and has been described as a “charming and whimsical building”, with a wood burner, exposed brick walls and a galleried bedroom.
