A historic house linked to Frank Serpico is now on the market for £515,000 in Corwen, Denbighshire, offering a unique investment opportunity.
Corwen: So, guess what? A house that was once home to the famous ex-New York detective Frank Serpico is up for sale! This guy was a real legend for fighting corruption back in the day.
He lived in this cool place called Corwen Manor for a bit in the late ’70s with a spiritualist group. Now, this Grade II Listed building, which used to be an old workhouse, is on the market for £515,000. Pretty wild, right?
The property has been a family home and a business for over 36 years, but now the owners are retiring. It’s got a lot of character and some modern touches too. Plus, it sits on a big plot with room for up to 15 cars, which is super handy for everyone.
Inside, there’s a mix of commercial and residential spaces. You could find anything from a crafts shop to a laundry and even a fishing gear store. It’s got the potential for up to 20 bedrooms, which is pretty impressive!
There are 52 rooms in total, and you could even turn it into apartments if you wanted. Oh, and there’s a detached cottage that needs some love to really shine.
As for Serpico, after he blew the whistle on corruption in the NYPD, he found this quiet spot in Corwen to escape. There’s even a movie about his life starring Al Pacino that came out in ’73!
If you’re interested, this property on London Road in Corwen is listed for £515,000. You can call Bettermove estate agents at 0203 8348696 for more info.
