Sir Terry Wogan’s son has blasted chancellor Rachel Reeves for “killing off the housing market” after failing to attract a single viewing on his late dad’s £3.75m mansion
Sir Terry Wogan’s son has slammed chancellor Rachel Reeves for “killing off the housing market” after failing to sell his dad’s mansion.
Mark Wogan, 51, put the late DJ’s £3.75m family home up for sale in November but said not one person has come to view or make an offer on the gaff.
The seven-bedroom pad in Taplow, Bucks, is where Sir Terry moved with his wife Lady Helen in 1975.
Mark told TalkTV: “You’d think someone would come round, even just out of interest, thinking, ‘Oh, I’d quite like to go round and see Terry Wogan’s house.
“But no one’s come to see it. No one, not one single person. That’s how dead the economy is.”
Wogan raised Mark and his two siblings, Alan and Katherine, at the property.
It was passed on to the ex-BBC Radio 2 host’s wife when he died in 2016 aged 77.
When Lady Helen died last year, Wogan’s kids and grandchildren inherited the Hitcham Close property which boasts a pool, tennis court and views of Windsor Castle.
Looking back on his time spent in the house, Mark said: “We’re a close family, so the kitchen was central to everything.”
The ex-Groucho Club chef added Lady Helen had been a “fantastic cook” and the family enjoyed “some lovely long lunches on the terrace in the summer overlooking mum’s beloved garden”.
He added: “It’s a thing of beauty. We’ll miss the house very much. But it’ll [give] someone a great place to raise a family.”
Broadcasting icon Wogan, who hosted Wake Up to Wogan on BBC Radio 2 from 1993 to 2009, fell in love with Taplow after visiting a friend in 1969.
