ROLF Harris’ riverside mansion has been quietly put up for sale two years after his death.
The Australian TV personality, musician and artist was jailed for five years and nine months in July 2014.

Harris was found guilty of a dozen indecent assaults against four young girls.
Some of his heinous crimes even took place inside his house, between 1968 and 1986.
He has also been accused of sexually assaulting one of his daughters friends, who was between 13 and 19 at the time.
The disgraced star performed sex acts on her while his daughter slept in another room, it is believed.
Bindi, 61, Harris’ only child, inherited the property in Bray, Berkshire and most of his £16 million estate.
Mayfair-based estate agents Benson International has it up for sale with an asking price of £4 million.
A source told the Mirror: “Bindi was seen emptying the property about a month ago.
“She wants to sell it, but she doesn’t desperately need the money and is in no rush, so she’s determined to hold out for a good price.
“Potential buyers have already begun viewings.”
Harris died of neck cancer at the house aged 93 in May 2023.
Alwen, his wife, had been suffering from Alzheimer’s disease and died in August last year.
Harris lived in the Riverside mansion for over six decades after rising to fame in his early 20s when he began performing a regular ten-minute cartoon drawing section in children’s show Jigsaw.
The house was designed in line with his childhood house on the banks of the Swan River in Perth, Western Australia, where he learned to swim before becoming a national junior backstroke champion aged 15.
It was renovated ahead of his release from jail in 2017, with workmen seen replacing a large patio at a cost of more than £10,000.
The front drive, which is overlooked by a horsehead, was also dug up and the back garden was revamped.
Speaking about the property, a Mirror source said: “It’s a massive plot in a very desirable area on the banks of the Thames, so there’s bound to be interest.
“But it remains to be seen if its past and notoriety may put some people off.

“Anyone who can afford the asking price clearly has plenty of money, so it’s very likely they’ll knock the current house down and build a new modern property on the land.”
Benson International describe themselves as a “premium property specialist operating in the heart of London advising clients internationally with assets in the UK.”
Their website adds: “We are a private office who have worked alongside clients with discretion for many years.”
They were contacted for comment.
