Rolf Harris\u2019 abandoned mansion where disgraced star died that still won\u2019t sell <\/a><\/p>\n“The home is now estimated to need between \u00a31.5 and \u00a32million just in renovations and building work to make it habitable again.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite the scale and once-luxurious design, inspired by Harris\u2019s childhood home in Australia, the property\u2019s dark history continues to cast a long shadow.<\/p>\n
Harris was convicted in 2014 on 12 counts of indecent assault and never worked again. Some of his offences were linked to the house itself.<\/p>\n
Colin made clear the contrast was impossible to ignore, saying: \u201cIt is beautiful here. It really is lovely\u2026 a lovely place to live, but, sadly\u2026 there\u2019s a lot of bad history that\u2019s gone on here. Some of the crimes are allegedly actually have supposed to taken place here as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
But it was in the basement where things took a far stranger turn. While exploring the cleared-out property, Colin stumbled across a mould of a human head \u2014 believed to be of Harris\u2019s late wife, artist Alwen Hughes.<\/p>\n
Holding it up on camera, he said: \u201cThis is Alwen Harris’ female head. That\u2019s his wife. That\u2019s a bit creepy, isn\u2019t it?\u201d<\/p>\n

Clearly unsettled, he questioned why it had been left behind at all, adding: \u201cI mean, it\u2019s very strange, isn\u2019t it? Like, why would you do that? Why would you want a a mould of your wife\u2019s head? And why would you leave it here? And why would you leave it in the basement?\u201d<\/p>\n
Taking a closer look, he added: \u201cLook at the eyes\u2026 that is creepy as you like, isn\u2019t it?\u201d He later summed up the find bluntly: \u201cWe found some weird things, haven\u2019t we? I didn\u2019t expect to see that in here!\u201d<\/p>\n
The mould may have been linked to Hughes\u2019 work as a sculptress and jeweller, but its presence in the basement \u2014 long after the house was cleared \u2014 has only added to the eerie atmosphere surrounding the site.<\/p>\n
The home\u2019s future remains uncertain. Initially listed at \u00a34million, the asking price has been slashed to \u00a31.95million \u2014 yet buyers still aren\u2019t biting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An urban explorer has lifted the lid on what remains inside Rolf Harris\u2019s abandoned mansion (Image: Getty) An…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":499126,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[175512,175513,96,59,175511,175517,175516,175515,175514,56,54,55,126101,132],"class_list":["post-499125","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-abandoned-mansion","tag-creepy-discovery","tag-entertainment","tag-gb","tag-rolf-harris","tag-rolf-harris-crimes","tag-rolf-harris-home","tag-rolf-harris-house","tag-rolf-harris-mansion","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-urban-exploration","tag-youtube"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/499125","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=499125"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/499125\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/499126"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=499125"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=499125"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=499125"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
