Paedophile Rolf Harris’ Berkshire mansion put up for sale two years after death

Rolf Harris’ mansion home has been put up for sale, two years after his death. The riverside property, in Bray, Berkshire, is being quietly marketed by Mayfair-based estate agents Benson International, with an asking price of £4million. Rolf’s only child Bindi inherited it and most of his £16million estate.

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 viewings.” Rolf died of neck cancer at the house aged 93 in May 2023. His wife Alwen, who had been suffering from Alzheimer’s, died in August last year.

He 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.

He was accused of performing a sex act on her there while his daughter slept in another room.

Rolf, who was born in Australia, had been living there for more than six decades after rising to fame in his early 20’s when he began performing a regular ten-minute cartoon drawing section in children’s show Jigsaw.

The house was designed in line with his childhood house on the banks of the Swan River in Perth, Western Australia, where he learned to swim before becoming a national junior backstroke champion aged 15.

It was renovated ahead of his release from jail in 2017, with workmen seen replacing a large patio at a cost of more than £10,000.

And the front drive, which is overlooked by a horsehead, was also dug up and the back garden was revamped.

Speaking about the property, our 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.”

Benson International describe themselves as a “premium property specialist operating in the heart of London advising clients internationally with assets in the UK”.
