Inside the £5million Thames-side mansion where paedophile Rolf Harris died trends now
Rolf Harris has passed away at the age of 93 inside his £5million riverside mansion where he spent his final days hiding from the world after being convicted as a paedophile.
The disgraced TV star had been 'very sick' since leaving prison six years ago and lived as a near-recluse in his £5million Thames-side property in Bray, Berkshire.
Harris spent his time looking after his wife of 65 years Alwen Hughes, who suffers from Alzheimer's disease, only leaving the house for frequent trips to the local doctors to pick up medication for his diabetes.
The Australian-born presenter's home was designed in line with his childhood house on the banks of the Swan River in Perth, Western Australia.
Harris had a river at the bottom of his garden where he learned to swim and by the age of 15 he was the junior backstroke champion of the whole of Australia.

He also often spoke about how his parents encouraged his love of art and music during his upbringing.
Judging by the interior pictures of his Berkshire home, you can see his love of art with a number of extravagant paintings on his walls.
He also dotted a number of intriguing ornaments on the grounds of the property, including a horsehead in his front drive.
His back garden was entirely inspired by his childhood, with Harris admitting that he introduced elements of the garden he knew as a boy in Perth to his home.
Back in 2017 the neighbours of the convicted paedophile were reported as putting up their multimillion pound riverside homes for sale after he returned home from prison.
This came after the area's former mayor said he did not think the former presenter would be welcome.
A total of three multi-million pound properties were put up for sale, with one property - a large waterfront home with five bedrooms - being listed for £2.75million.
A source told the Daily Star Sunday: 'The owners are in their 40s and have a family, so there's no surprise in the community that they have decided to sell up and move.
'Rolf isn't seen out and about a lot, but for parents his dubious past is enough of a reason for them to want to leave.'
