The riverside property in Bray, Berkshire, has now been put up for auction with a reserve cost of £1.95million – a major knock down from its original price tag of £4million.

The mansion will now go up for auction at the end of the month – with bids starting at £1.5million.
The RightMove listing says the auction will take place on March 26.
It is described as having four bedrooms – including a large master, numerous balconies overlooking the river and 6440sqft of space.
Rolf’s former house also has an annex and a boat house.
However, the listing also notes the house would “benefit from modernisation” and the site has “scope for redevelopment”.

Estate agent Brian Warren of Warren Property Matters had warned the initial £4million asking price was too high due to the “stigma attached”.
He told The Sun last week he estimated it needed up to £2million in to make it liveable.
Mr Warren said “no-one” will pay up to £6million, including the former asking price.
He added today that £1.95million was ‘”the right price all along”.
Mr Warren continued: “At auction, if it sells for £2million that’s the right price as it needs knocking down and a new house put in it’s place.
“With an added building cost of £1million, it will be in line with areas value.
“It’s a lovely plot in a great location on the banks of the river Thames.”
