Paul O'Grady's widower puts countryside mansion on the market for £3.5m despite winning planning row...

The lavish seven-bedroom mansion of much-loved comedian Paul O'Grady has been put on the market for £3.5million by his widower, despite his recent planning row win.

Locals had objected to the former dancer's request to turn part of the mansion into the holiday let, accusing him of effectively building a new home 'by the back door'. They also added that there was no need for more holiday lets in the area, citing fears of road accidents with a 'constant stream of visiting car drivers unfamiliar with the property's awkward access'.However it also emerged others written in support of Mr Portasio's plans, with officials at the council eventually giving the scheme the green light in July.

'Built in 1910 the house has much charm, providing a comfortable and spacious space in which to live and entertain against this stunning backdrop.' 'I spent the night roaming around the rooms like a cat getting accustomed to its new surroundings , lugging pieces of furniture from one room to another and then spending ages standing back to see if it looked right, which it inevitably didn't.'
