Kirstie Allsopp's childhood manor home is at the centre of a major planning row.

The property named Vern Leaze is an 11-bedroom, Grade II* listed building of 'national significance' in Calne, Wiltshire, that was last valued at £3.5million in 2021.

The mansion was once owned by Charles Allsopp, 6th Baron Hindlip, the later father of Channel 4's Location, Location, Location presenter Kirstie, 53.

The expensive property has now been drawn into a planning row as it neighbours a site earmarked for 170 homes and a medical centre at Wenhill.

Mr Allsopp, who wielded the gavel in the record breaking £24.75million auction of Van Gogh's Sunflowers in 1987, is reported to have sold the property in the early 1980s.
