Grade-II*-listed eight-bedroom, six-bathroom Piers Court is where Waugh wrote many illustrious novels, including Brideshead Revisited
A Grade II*-listed Cotswold mansion where Evelyn Waugh wrote Brideshead Revisited is up for auction with a guide price of £2.5m – about £400,000 less than it sold for just four years ago.
However, there is a catch, or two. Prospective buyers are unable to look around the eight-bedroom, six-bathroom property and no recent photos are available because sitting tenants are refusing to leave the property or allow estate agents or buyers in. The tenants are paying rent of £250 a year.
