Daphne Neville, known for her role in the television drama Broadchurch, has placed her Cotswolds residence on the market following her relocation to a specialist residential facility for former entertainment industry professionals.
The 89-year-old performer, who portrayed Margery Knight in the ITV series, is selling Bakers Mill near Stroud in Gloucestershire.
The Grade II-listed property has been priced at £1.85 million.
Neville occupied the secluded estate for more than six decades, raising her three daughters within its grounds.
The residence became known locally for its unconventional inhabitants: a succession of domesticated otters that made their home there.
Bakers Mill encompasses approximately 11.78 acres within the Golden Valley situated between Stroud and Cirencester.
The grounds feature a private lake suitable for swimming and rowing, woodland areas, paddocks, and direct frontage along the River Frome.
A converted Georgian silk mill provides supplementary accommodation on the property.
The main residence comprises a drawing room, dining room, and kitchen that open onto a south-facing York stone terrace with views across the River Frome.
The upper floors contain bedrooms overlooking the gardens, lake, and surrounding woodland.
Native wildlife such as kingfishers and mallards frequent the grounds.
Neville began her association with otters in 1980 when she acquired her first animal, Bee.
She was informed that the converted 18th-century water mill would offer suitable conditions for the creatures.
Over the subsequent years, she maintained ten otters at the property.
The animal resided at New Forest Wildlife Park following retirement and passed away in 2024.
Neville has relocated to Denville Hall in north London, a charitable organisation providing residential care for individuals with careers in the performing arts and entertainment sectors.
Previous occupants have included Richard Attenborough, Andrew Sachs, and Marianne Faithfull.
