Jeremy Clarkson’s childhood home in Yorkshire has gone up for sale

Jeremy Clarkson’s childhood Yorkshire home has gone up for sale for a cool £1,475,000.

The former Top Gear presenter and star of Clarkson’s Farm is known to most of us for being a bit posh, running his beautiful farm down in the Cotsworlds.

But what a lot of us forget (or never knew in the first place) is that Jeremy Clarkson is in fact a Yorkshireman – and he grew up in Doncaster.

Now, his five-bedroom, Grade II-listed childhood home has been listed for sale, in the village of Tickhill.

Although the home has a long history, it’s best-known locally for its time as the family home of the Clarkson family, including Jeremy and his mother Shirley, who made a name for herself making Paddington Bear teddy bears.

She initially made them without content, but was later granted licensing rights by Paddington author Michael Bond and went on the manufacture Paddington Bears worldwide.

Her son, obviously, also got pretty famous later in life – Jeremy Clarkson is one of Britain’s best-known broadcasters and presenters.

The home itself, Rowland Bridge House, is a Grade II-listed detached house, with a home office and guest accommodation over a separate garage and a beautiful setting along the water’s edge.

Inside, you’ll find a hall and cloakroom, dining room, sitting room, drawing room, orangery, living kitchen, utility room, master bedroom with dressing room and en suite, guest bedroom with dressing room and en suite, three further bedrooms, and a house bathroom.

One of the prettiest corners of this beautiful home is the landscaped south-facing walled gardens, which overlook the water and include an outdoor kitchen.

The house spans an impressing 5,000 sq ft and although it’s got plenty of period charm, it’s more recently been brought up to modern standards with media and sound systems and remote heating and security systems.

So there you have it – the walls where Jeremy Clarkson spent his early years could now be yours.
