Mills makes just £250,000 on £3.5m Macca divorce mansion

WITH its own tennis court and swimming pool, and reached by a 150yard drive through private woodland, it’s the sort of house of which most can only dream.

But 15 years after paying £3.25 million for her eight-bedroom, oak-panelled sanctuary in East Sussex, Heather Mills has sold up, I can reveal. The former model and vegan entrepreneur declines to comment, but she acquired the property after separating from her second husband, Sir Paul McCartney, in 2006.

She completely refurbished the house the following year — before her divorce was finalised with the former Beatle, who turns 80 today.

But, despite the care she lavished on it, she put it on the rental market in 2011 — at £7,995-a-month.

This time, the asking price was £3.5 million. Let’s hope she got it. After securing £100 million less in her divorce settlement than she hoped for, Mills, 54, poured a jug of water over Fiona Shackleton, Macca’s solicitor.
