London Standard<\/a> reported. It had recently been rented out by Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher and his fianc\u00e9e Debbie Gwyther.<\/p>\nThe pair lived cloistered in the historic home in the year-long lead up to the rocker\u2019s 2024 \u201cDefinitely Maybe\u201d arena tour. Gallagher, who is currently selling out arenas alongside his brother Noel for the Oasis Live 25 tour, described his rehearsal-heavy tenure at the gothic country house as \u201cliving like a monk.\u201d<\/p>\n

Only a very spoiled monk could call Stanley Park home, however. Gallagher rented out the 11-bedroom for a reported $23,000 a month.<\/p>\n
The four-story dwelling underwent an extensive renovation by its current owner, Rebekah Seddon-Wickens. Seddon-Wickens, a property entrepreneur, snapped the manor up at a 2015 auction for just $1.03 million. She found the manor in a sorry state.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The residence, which had been converted into a multi-family residence in the mid-1900s, required a seven-year renovation. Seddon-Wickens relied on original Victorian floor plans and historical records to bring the gothic abode back to its former glory. <\/p>\n

Highlights of the historic home include original stone fireplaces, ornate arches, a north-facing ballroom and an original stained glass ceiling.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seddon-Wickens\u2019 contemporary touches included that addition of a modern, circular kitchen; a gym; a meditation room; a sauna and a cinema room.<\/p>\n
Stanley Park is designated as a Grade II building, which is England\u2019s way of landmarking historic structures for special preservation. The manor is believed to date back to 1584, with some extensions added on throughout the 19th century.<\/p>\n

The home famously received a royal visit in 1941 from Queen Mary, the grandmother of Queen Elizabeth II, who stopped by for afternoon tea with her friend, Lady Beatrice Marling.<\/p>\n
The home was divided into 11 apartments following Marling\u2019s death, the Standard reported, and the entire estate was auctioned off into 54 lots. Decades of neglect and dereliction followed, until Seddon-Wickens took up Stanley Park\u2019s cause.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After centuries of being inherited, converted, auctioned and leased, it\u2019s time for the home to sell.<\/p>\n
