STEVE HARRIS’ ESSEX HOUSE UP FOR SALE FOR £6,750,000

Fancy owning a house that belongs to the founder of Iron Maiden? Well, Steve Harris is selling his country house in Essex.

It’s on the market for a mere £6,750,000! That’s six and three quarter million quid for those of us who used to count in millions but now only count in one. For that you get what is described as the following:

“Approached via a pretty country lane and private gated entrance into a sweeping gravel driveway with large parking area, Sheering Hall is an historic substantial medieval country house of some 11,000 square feet full of character and period features throughout.

“It is grade II listed and there has been a house on the site since the Domesday Book and parts of the house date back to 1427. The property offers a fantastic variety of facilities for entertaining on a grand scale.

“Surrounding the entrance hall with its exposed beams and open fireplace are the three main reception rooms. The sitting room and drawing room both have fine detail and character with floor to ceiling oak panelled walls and high ceilings with guilded ornate cornicing. The drawing room boasts a grand wooden carved fireplace with wood burner.

“The kitchen benefits from a four-oven aga and raised breakfast area and from the kitchen there is access to the playroom, boot room and utility area.

“Through a further hallway is access to your own private and fully equipped pub ‘The Horse And Cart’ complete with ale on tap. From the second hallway, further leisure amenities extend to an impressive media room, again with a high ornately decorated ceiling and an office, editing studio and equipment store.
