The couple had a shared interest in mid-20th century British art and filled the Victorian property with a wide selection of paintings and ornaments.
She decided to sell it all after downsizing to a flat in London, where she ran a fine art gallery in Knightsbridge.
A total of 466 lots were put up for sale by autcioneers Sworders at Stansted Mountfitchet, Essex, and nearly all the items were sold for a total of £737,828, exceeding the top estimate by more than £200,000.
