Rowan ‘Mr Bean’ Atkinson is selling £3 million country home following a split with his wife. The 60-year-old actor is selling the former family home in Oxfordshire after the break-up of his 24-year marriage to wife Sunetra Sastry, 53, in February last year.
This sale has fuelled speculation that he could be headed for a costly divorce as Atkinson recently sold his prized possession, the very rare, McLaren F1 supercar for £8 million.
Rowan and Sunetra have two children Ben, 21, and Lily, 19.
Reports have also emerged that Rowan is now dating 32-year-old comedian Louise Ford.
According to a report in the Daily Mail, the house that Rowan Atkinson is selling has five bedrooms, three reception rooms and four bathrooms as well as an indoor swimming pool.
It also has a tennis court within the six-acre grounds, which are situated just yards from the River Thame.
The estate agent’s brochure describes the Grade II listed building, dating from 1777, as ‘a classic mix of Georgian and contemporary architecture’ with ‘fine Queen Anne frontage’.
The Blackadder star bought the house in 2000 for about £1 million.
Rowan first met Sunetra in the late 1980s, when she was working as a BBC make-up artist, and they wed in 1990.
