The drummer lived in the 19th-century mansion outside Gloucester, England, in the 1970s and ’80s, and converted an outbuilding into a recording studio
A Victorian Gothic manor in the English countryside that was home to the late Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts in the 1970s and ’80s has hit the market for £7.95 million .
Watts, who was nicknamed “the Wembley Whammer” by Mick Jagger, became a permanent member of the Rolling Stones in 1963, shortly after the band’s creation. He remained with the iconic band for 58 years, until his death in 2021 at the age of 80, at which point he, along with Jagger and Keith Richards, were the only band members to have performed on every one of Stones’ studio albums.
“The height and proportions of the rooms creates the most wonderful flow of living space and for such a substantial property, there is a feeling of comfortable living and a warm environment further enhanced by the far reaching outlook from all the principal rooms,” Sugden said. The cherry on top is that guests will be able “to stay over in the coach house that was once the music studio of a Rolling Stone,” he added.
The bedrooms, with views across the surrounding countryside, are spread across the upper floors of the home, and at the top of the tower is the smoking room, fitted with trefoil windows, a fireplace and direct access to the roof terrace. The owner—who paid £3 million for the property in 2011, according to property records—has planted thousands of trees during their residency and much of the land has been planted and maintained to attract wildlife, with quiet areas for nesting ducks and denser wooded areas for deer, Savills said.
