Inside Harry Potter star Rupert Grint’s $7.5m countryside mansion that he paid for in CASH
HARRY Potter star Rupert Grint is sitting on a property empire worth a staggering $30million – and one of his palatial homes is set in its own parkland.
The $7.5million English mansion was built in the 18th century and comes with 22.6 acres of grounds, complete with huge gardens, a paddock and even its own lake.

Rupert’s six-bed grand property has an indoor leisure center, with a swimming pool, jacuzzi, gym and games room.
Outside, there is a second pool located next to a Grecian pavilion, a flood-lit tennis court, a guest house and TWO guest cottages.
It is just one of a stack of plush houses owned by Rupert, who played Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter movie franchise.
He paid $6.8million for it in 2009 and, remarkably, the purchase was made with cash.

The former child star, 31, has never lived in the home and has now put it on the market for $7.5million.
Potential purchasers arriving at the Hertfordshire house – which sits just outside of London – will first need to venture up a long, tree-lined driveway after pulling in from the road.
Once inside the massive entrance hall, there is the choice of a drawing room, sitting room or family room to relax in downstairs.
There is also a large kitchen with larder and even a wine store in a cellar below.
The property – which “requires modernization” – is split over three floors and, on the first, there is a master bedroom with separate dressing room and en-suite.

On the top floor, there are three more bedrooms and all have en-suites and dressing rooms.
Once back outside, whoever snaps up Rupert’s countryside house can take a walk through the massive grounds and visit the lake.
Along with a walled garden, there is also mature landscaped gardens, boxed hedge paths and a pond to stroll around.

Perfect for friends and family to visit, the semi-detached cottages each have two bedrooms, a sitting room, kitchen and bathroom.
There is also a barn in the grounds, with a one-bedroom staff flat located above it too.
On Wednesday, The Sun exclusively revealed that Rupert has recently added more than $13million worth of homes to his property portfolio.
It means he now has a stack of properties worth a total of $30million thanks to savvy investments.
A source said: “Rupert’s become a real property magnate and has been working his magic on building his empire.
“His portfolio is worth around $30million now and he’s growing it all the time.”
