Star's home for sale

8:28am Friday 29th August 2008

The west Oxfordshire home of the late comedian and actor Ronnie Barker is up for sale.

Mill House, in Dean, near Chipping Norton, is on the market for £1.3m through Oxford agents Knight Frank.

Mr Barker and his wife Joy bought the house in the hamlet - where Witney MP and Conservative Party leader David Cameron has his constituency home - 27 years ago.

When the comedian retired from TV work in 1987, the couple moved in permanently and he settled into running an antiques shop in Chipping Norton.

Mr Barker died almost three years ago and his widow has put the large Grade II-listed house up for sale.

The six-bedroom property has extensive and secluded grounds, stretching to about ten acres.
