Rolf Harris mansion goes up for sale with staggering price tag two years after disgraced presenter’s death
Rolf Harris’s riverside mansion in Bray, Berkshire, has been put up for sale with an asking price of £4 million.
The property has hit the market two years after the disgraced entertainer’s death at age 93.
The luxurious home is being quietly marketed by Mayfair-based estate agents Benson International.
Harris’s only child Bindi inherited the property along with most of his £16 million estate.

Benson International describe themselves as a “premium property specialist operating in the heart of London advising clients internationally with assets in the UK”.
Their website adds: “We are a private office who have worked alongside clients with discretion for many years.”
A source told the Mirror: “Bindi was seen emptying the property about a month ago. She wants to sell it, but she doesn’t desperately need the money and is in no rush, so she’s determined to hold out for a good price.”
Potential buyers have already begun viewing the riverside property.
Bindi was recently spotted clearing out the estate, signalling her intent to sell while awaiting a favourable offer.
Harris died of neck cancer at the house in May 2023, aged 93.
His wife Alwen, who had been suffering from Alzheimer’s, died in August last year.
An undertaker’s private ambulance was photographed outside the Berkshire home after Harris died there on 10 May.
The property was his final residence until his death.
The house was designed to mirror Harris’s childhood home on the banks of the Swan River in Perth, Western Australia.
It was renovated ahead of his release from jail in 2017, with workmen replacing a large patio at a cost of more than £10,000.
The front drive, which is overlooked by a horsehead, was also dug up and the back garden revamped.
Harris was jailed for five years and nine months in July 2014 after being found guilty of a dozen indecent assaults against four young girls.
His crimes, some of which occurred inside the house, took place between 1968 and 1986.
In one instance Harris reportedly sexually assaulted one of his daughter Bindi’s friends, who was between the ages of 13 and 19 at the time.
Speaking about the property, the source said: “It’s a massive plot in a very desirable area on the banks of the Thames, so there’s bound to be interest.”
“But it remains to be seen if its past and notoriety may put some people off.”
“Anyone who can afford the asking price clearly has plenty of money, so it’s very likely they’ll knock the current house down and build a new modern property on the land.”
