Former TV star and convicted paedophile Rolf Harris' riverside mansion remains unsold months after it went on the market for £4 million.
The quaint property in Bray, Berkshire, was put up for sale in late April for a value criticised as 'overpriced' by an estate agent.
Harris modelled the house on his childhood home of Swan River in Perth, Western Australia, and he lived there for decades until his death from neck cancer in May 2023, aged 93.
Local estate agent Brian Warren stated the property was originally worth £2 million, not £4 million, which he dubbed "not cost effective", The Mirror reports.
He also described the property as "a mess" and said that purchasers may be wary of the home because of its association with Harris.
Mr Warren said: "Given the cost of renovation, it's just not cost effective if you have to pay £4million for the property. They're looking at paying another £1.5million on top of the price to rebuild it because it’s on the river."
Harris was jailed for five years and nine months in 2014 after being convicted at Southwark Crown Court of 12 indecent assaults between 1968 and 1986.
His predatory behaviour towards women and girls was revealed through a mass of evidence, including molesting a friend of his daughter Bindi Nicholls over a 16-year-period, beginning when the girl was just 13. He also targeted an eight-year-old girl asking for an autograph and two girls in their early teens.
He was released on parole in May 2017, after serving three years of his sentence, and retreated to his home in Bray, which underwent significant renovations for his arrival.
Of his 12 convictions, one was overturned on appeal in November 2017, while a jury chose not to convict him of two further cases the same year.
Although Harris' fortune was once estimated to be around £16 million, probate records after his death showed his assets were just £438,802 which was reduced to £0 after expenses were paid.
When Harris' widow Alwen died in August last year, she left an estate worth just under £4 million to their daughter Bindi, who has changed her name to Ava Reeves, fuelling suspicions the disgraced TV presenter 'shielded' his money to avoid civil claims from victims.
Ex-detective Mark Williams-Thomas, who investigated Harris's crimes, said at the time: “This is yet another disgrace. He has obviously planned to get rid of money and assets and there is no way he’d have actually been penniless.
"He had amassed a huge amount of wealth and I would assume he has squirreled it away to avoid victims making claims on it, even after his death.
"The man had no shame."
In April, Ava was seen emptying her parents' home before it went on the market. Although the property has had several viewings, it has received no offers as yet.
Ava, who was the sole family executor of the will, and her mother Alwen stood by Harris throughout his trial in 2014, even though one of his victims was her childhood friend.
A source said she "doesn't desperately need the money" and is "determined to hold out for a good price".
Harris moved to Britain in 1952 to study art and soon found work on the BBC, performing a ten-minute cartoon drawing section on a children's programme, Jigsaw, and he illustrated Harbin's Paper Magic program in 1956.
After a lull in the 1970s, his career took off again in later years as a regular face on other TV shows, including children's TV show Rolf's Cartoon Club on ITV, which ran from 1989 to 1993, and BBC One's Animal Hospital from 1994 to 2003.
