A luxury farmhouse on land where infamous highwayman Dick Turpin is rumoured to have stashed his stolen loot has gone on the market for £1.8million.
The Grade-II listed Harwoods House sits on a sprawling 12 acres of land in Ashorne, Warwickshire and is for sale with Bromwich Hardy estate agents.
The property is being marketed as a 'first-class investment or development opportunity' with fascinating links to the rogue highwayman.
The current red brick three-storey building dates back to the late 18th century and comes with nearly 5,000 sq ft of offices and outbuildings.
There has long been speculation that Turpin - who was hanged for his crimes in York in 1739 - hid some of the valuable proceeds of his robberies on land at the farm.
